not relevant to the HHR but...
i used to run Nitto's on my TA WS6 and i liked them...wore well,hooked good and weather friendly ( as much as a DR can be
)
i tried BFG ( not weather friendy,spun too easy)
i tried Mickey Thompson ( hooked really good espescially at the strip,didnt wear all that great,more air pressure sensitive than the other two)
for what its worth - i found the nittos to work the best for me on that car - although their sizing was sort of weird - they seemed smaller even in the same size

hijack anyways...^^^ nice rob!!
my TA pulled 310 out of the box (A4) - with all the bolt on's and heads/cam 410 - then the rear stopped the fun
you need a moser in that rocket brother - no reason to stop at 430
back to regular scheduled programing.........

Just get a set of 16's off a cobalt or hhr, and either BF or MicT's will fit. Anything over the 16's and you get fitment problems. don't be suprised if you twist a shaft though. Wheel hop is an issue with anything bigger than the 18's with shoes, as well. Also, you would want some adjustable turn-buckle style traction bars from the body to lower a-arm.(just don't leave 'em on for DD, one speed bump and you'll bend the **** out of 'em)
255/50/16's look and fit nice
