Chevy HHR Network - Another attempt at tires too big

thank's guys !
after several hundred miles of travel on them I can honestly say this was the best decision Ive made yet (as far as upgrades go) these tires are ssoooo nice and smooth, ride is unreal how much better it is, handling has increased quite a bit as well. only downside is while putting them on, I noticed my rr shock is completely blown out, and while it doesnt look as bad, the lr shock is on its way out as well.
I did some reading about swapping springs and such, for a more "leveled" stance, but honestly, I like the hotrod look as it is. that said, Im pretty sure Ill be dropping both front/rear when I do the shocks/struts. even though I know the front are much newer, I still dont like to half ass it when doing things like this, if I can help it.
