Wheels
Very cool sight. I love my HHR!!! I noticed that the SS has 18' wheels, and they look great. I was wounding, would I have to go through a big ordeal with the speedo and the computer going from 16' wheels to 18' wheels. Someone told me I did. The new Cragar 18' classics for front wheel drive 5X110 look great. I wish they made classic Keystones for HHR. That would look brutal!!! Not to change the subject, but what does HHR stand for anyway?

Welcome to the site.
Your HHR's 16" tires are a taller profile than the SS 18's are. Because of the taller sidewall profile of the 16" tires both tires end up at roughly the same height off the ground also known as a tire/wheel diameter. As long as the new tires you were to go with also had this same diameter then you should not have major speedo differences. You may have 1-3 mph differences though and if that will bother you than you can have your computer recalibrated for the new tire size. It will all depend on the difference between what your current tire diameter is and the new one is.
