looking at some 20s, bagged hhr

im bagging my HHR soon. i was going to run 18x7.5's on 215/35/18's so i can still get pretty low. but i've been thinking about going with 20s instead. i was looking at MSR wheels, they seem to have a nice selection of 20x7.5's (i should stick with 7.5" wide so they're still tuckable somewhat, right?)

IF i go with 20x7.5's, what offset and tire size should i look into? keep in mind, i want to still be able to tuck inside the wheel wells, sorta like lunchbox's hhr (he's on 215/35/18's)

ok, 215/35/18 is 23.9" tall

215/30/20 is 25.1" tall
225/30Z/20 is tall 25.3"
235/30/20 is 25.6" tall

that should work, and itll be the same width (rim wise) since they're both 7.5" wide wheels.

i think 215/30/20 is the smallest 20" tire they make. they make a 25 series, but its like a 295/25/20. too wide.

so i think 215/30/20 is the tire i should run? from what i see, toyo is the only manf of this size. i might be able to find a 225/30/20 for a bit cheaper, since more companies make the 225 and 235 sizes.

Not sure what size came stock on yours, but mine came with 215/50/17 which are approx 25.5 tall..

A shorter tire will make it rev higher on the highway.. fwiw

guys! Why your cars scratched his bellys on the asphalt?

It is beautiful? I hope so, because the thought of the practicality of such an innovation makes me shudder.

Yea i was surprised to see an hhr with these wheels in the gallery on the wheel site.

I think i might leave them the factory finish now that I think about it.. they may look nice on a silver hhr. If not ill get them coated all one color.

Ruff racing seems to be a decent wheel too. Saw alot of guys on a corvette forum run them.
