Do you have Brembos? Many iwheels that will fit HHR SS non-Brembo will NOT fit with Brembos. Tirerack.com makes you select Performance Package or not, and will show just wheels that will fit. They’ll sell you 4 wheels shipped for possibly less than the price of two OEM SS used replacements, if you can find them. Not available new.
While original were 18x7.5 w/ 42mm offset, many of their listings are 18x8 w/ 35mm offset, which works out great, arguably better. Be sure you get the 5x110mm bolt pattern. Conical lug nuts from the parts store are fine for most 5x110 wheels, but you need to use what the wheel manufacturer specifies. I kinda like the stainless-capped originals for a daily driver.

And that wheel size will work with the tires I already have on there?

BTW, use the type of nut specified by the wheel manufacturer.
Be sure to mark the bent rims BEFORE they come off the car so you know which is which.
You didn’t answer if you have Brembos. Also, do you have the original OEM wheels?
