Tire Size
 

Thinking about some Continental Sport Contact 2 tires. I know someone who has some new unused tires but they are 245/40/18. Is 245 too wide for my '09 HHR SS?
Thanks, Ray in TX.

There are quite a few members using 245/40's on here. They fit, but are a bit shorter than the 225/45.

I had Continental Extreme contacts dws's on my cobalt and loved them, yet again I only had them for a month then sold the car.

Think 245's will rub when lowered? Im lowered on CM/SSC cobalt SS springs.

Nah, wont rub if lowered, and they are 3mm shorter than the 225's, I have 255"s that dont rub. And they are .1mm taller. :D

Update,......Found some tires that fit the 7.5"x 18 rims and clear the spring perch,.....at 235x45 they ride as good as mine. But they aren't cheep, thinking of spoiling the panel , and me with a set. They went up since I checked last week, we, Banshee08, and I got a set for His SS last week installed for 916.00
Hope he don't mind you all knowing what His tires cost, pm him and see if he likes them.:lol:

The 255 have a nice wide look Sam.

I have 245/40's...no rubbing. 245/45 will rub though.
