American Racing Torq Thrust M 16X7
For any future lurkers on this forum..... They fits! Offset is +35 MM. Hub Bore and Lug nut type are EXACT OEM FIT. Factory lugs fut perfectly. No rubbing issues whatsoever. The spokes are much closer to the caliper than stock, however, and I would not recommend getting the 16 inch rims if you are running anything larger than stock LS/LT calipers (calling you out Oldblue.... 
) Pics might one day go into a "HHR of the month" submission but for now they will live here for your enjoyment. I must say, for 10/11 year old paint, that sunburst orange really lives up to its name!

Why the call out? My SS non Brembo brakes fit under my 16 inch factory steelies and my WV rally rims, I'm happy. A lot of SS owners put 16 inch steel rims in for the winter and they fit!
This rims look great on Gregg and that paint is nice and shiney!!
Good to know about the lug nuts!

Ill post a close up a bit later! 
and Oldblue because on my stock calipers the clearance is only about 4 MM to the spoke, very close but no rubbing. I am sure the non brembo SS calipers are much more "beefy" than my itty bitty LT calipers. did not mean to call you out in a negative way!

But I have the stock LS calipers, they work with the SS NB caliper brackets, and actually the SS calipers are smaller then my LS ones , I just figured if they ain't broke or leaking why change them out?
