Is there a 15 inch rim out there for the HHR? If so what tires size would be recommended?

I want a set of 15s so I can put a tire with a taller sidewall on and get a softer ride.

 

may not clear brake rotor. only way to get "soft" ride nowdays is to get an older linc towncar. had one a few years back and you could fall asleep driving it, so smooooth!

 

The 15" rims from the 04-08 Malibu will work for you, and 205/65/15 tires will be within .08% of the stock size in overall diameter so no issues with tires rubbing on the lower spring perches.

 

843de never fails to help out. Good info!! Thanks!

I bet a 16" rim would provide almost the same ride. It only removes a half inch of rubber cushion and are easily found.

 

Thanks! There has to be at least some improvement in ride quality and noise levels with a smaller rim and more sidewall. Gonna start lookin round for some rims and see what I get. May take awhile but Ill keep yall posted.

 

Thanks nacademus & ebritt, just trying to be helpful when I can offer something up that assists another member here. A pat on the back is always nice every once and a while.

 

Sure there will be a softer ride with more tire sidewall..

If you can't find the malibu 843 listed, check out 'wheel vintiques' @ Summit..

 

I bought 15" rims from Tire Rack and had them mount Michelin snow tires on them. They work fine just not a lot between rim and rotor.

 

As some of you may remember, I was rocking steelies and no covers. I've still got them ebritt.. if you want them, you can have them, only condition would be pick up only.

 

I didnt know there were stock 15's. Would love t o have them but too far away, thanks anyways. There may be a set in the scrapyards around here.....just waitin for me to pick them up....LOL
