Letterman7. The rim this is around the hub bolt is a larger diameter then the earlier cars. They made this change in the 08 production run. I have a feeling this true across all of the Delta platforms. Also the SS is 4wheel disc brake the rest have rear drums.

Ok, my mistake. It was an '08. But definitely SS wheels.

Today.... I looked at it.

It's still at the shop. We are doing a 4 wheel alinement, shimming the right rear which is barely out... Most people would ignore it, it's very minor and I have let it go in the past, but this time I'm having it done... It's not a new issue, probably always been that way.

Other than that... she looks hot with those wheels, the Coopers and the drop is very noticable.

Ron- What area does NOT fit ? That's strange.

sleeper the center portion of the wheel opening is too small The diameter of the opening is larger on aster wheels. The bolt pattern is the same but the wheel will not fit flat on the drum.. If I had access to a machine shop with a big enough lathe it could probably be corrected. To have it done would probably cost more than I can get another set of wheels for.

I would think those were not factory HHR wheels. Maybe a similar style from a earlier Cobalt or other GM model.
Any of the factory HHR wheels should fit on any of the HHR line 06-11 (ex. some of the SS)

firemangeorge, they were off of an HHR, I got them out of the vehicle. The local Pick and save takes the wheels from the vehicle and put them in the trunk or back. I was back over there earlier this week and there was an 07 and a 10 sitting side by side and the diameter of the ring on the rear brake drum is larger on the 10 then the 07.
