Old School Please

Can any one give me 2008 wheel spec in inches?
I'm looking to retro out the wheels (Cragars, AR, etc.) and most older style wheels are speced in inches.

Second, does any one know if the MPG reading is the imperial gallon or the smaller US gallon?

Thanks

If you set the DIC for Kilometers then the readout will be liters per kilometers.
I'm sure you are already set up for the metric since you are in Canada. The dic has the capability to be change from US to Metric or back, it is all spelled out in the manual.

110mm = 4.33 inches. Nothing standard is going to fit that. You'd have to have it special made. That is the same direction I thought about going two years ago but saw that it was hopeless unless I wanted to throw major money at it. A good set of wheel adaptors would be better than trying to have wheels made.

You can get Torque Thrusts specially made. HHRMOM has (had?) a set and they looked awesome. Best wheels I've ever seen on an HHR!
