Can you change tire sizes?

Can you change tire sizes?
I currently have OEM 17 inch wheels/tires on my 2007 Premier Edition HHR. My question is: Can I replace both the 17 inch wheels to 16 inch smoothies and the 17 inch tires with 16 inch whitewalls for a retro look?
I don't claim to be a mechanic I just love my HHR. Impossible to find both 17 inch smoothies and 17 inch whitewalls.

If you have the black chrome 17" wheels, Im sure someone here would buy them off of you for the right price.

Hey Fran, yeah, no 17" smoothies in our bolt pattern in fact, the only 17" steelie I could find at all would be the Pontiac G6 steelies like this:
See Mike B's HHR of the month for nice 16" steelies & whitewalls!

I went from the OEM 17" to 16" rims and tires for a retro look. The key is making sure you get the correct bolt pattern for the wheels: 5 X 110. Pete Paulsen sells rims just for the HHR: http://www.petepaulsen.com/Catalogof...R%20Wheels.htm
Here is a post about White Wall Tires: https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/tires-wheels-49/everything-you-ever-want-know-about-whitewalls-your-hhr-27740/
I got my White Walls from Diamond Back Tires. Here's the link to their 16" white wall tire chart. http://www.dbtires.com/2009_catalog/hi/24.htm
I got the 215/60-16 (I wanted a 2" White Wall.) They have a few 16" tires that will work with different white wall widths. (The 215/60-16 is an extremely smooth ride by the way!)
Hope this info is helpful! PM me if you have any questions; glad to help. I spent months and months researching retro rims and white wall tires for Car 11 (my HHR).
