Just got turned outta the OK tire shop .
I brought in 4 tires and a set of 18" cobalt SS gunmetals and the mechanic did a dry fit with the Rim and said the rims do not fit. Somthing about the HHR caliper being larger? , because the center cap hole inside the hole pattern wont allow the RIMS to go on?

I was like , Hmmm, OK then! but im pretty sure they'r a straight swap (from forum research) but ....poooo

Anyone have any feed back??

Otherwise they have to be machined apparently.

 

I don't think hhr's changed between 06/07 and 08...and I know they fit those years. I just got a set of gunmetal wheels today though lol, so I'll test it myself soon enough.

 

huh doesnt make sense... should be straight swap the calipers arent bigger unless you have the ss with the brembos...

 

Yea they should fit unless u have some kind of limited edition HHR that noone has heard of.

 

he probably has a rare one, dont underestimate chad

 

Aight...well in a few days im going to print all of this out, drop it on his desk and qualify his tire mechanic.

 

Or just try it yourself

 

 

Point.

 

yeah. if you got the wheels available , why not try to fit them on there yourself...
