42mmm is the HHR and Cobalts stock offset (not sure if that includes SS HHR ?)

That's interesting, my '08 polished 17's are 6.5" wide. Can't speak for the painted ones.

Which rims do you have ?? & are they factory rims ?

 

Ok, sorry for the confusion. They are stock factory polished alloy and yes they are 17 x 6.5 but with my tire size (215/50) i can go 6.5 to 7.5.

If the backspacing is 42MM, is there no room to wiggle? To say to a 40 offset?

Why is this so hard for me?

 

The SS uses a 38mm offset on an 18x7.5" wheel, if I remember correctly.

 

I had it all along.....

I remember the first time I saw this, I wondered why they were different.

 

Thank You...


Our rims have Positive Offset, otherwise they would stick out the fenders.

 

So after countless phone calls I finally got my wheels!!!! Just so you know, on my 2007 LT2 I went with 17x7, 5/110 bolt pattern with a +40MM back spacing. Everything is perfect. Once its done being gross in good ol Ohio I will post some pics.

I got Sacchi Hyper Black wheels! I love them!

 

Cool....Sounds good !!!

 

I just did the smoothie and baby moon thing. I bought chrome smoothies and moons from Summit. Easy and fast! Here's a pic shot in the dark in the garage (will try to get better shots outside later).

 

Nice looking rims, nothing wrong with going in a different direction from the crowd, haven't seen another SS with 'em.
