Need some advice on wheels

I need some advice on wheels for a 2010 silver LT. I'm wanting to do either 18 or 20 inchers and was wondering if there are any adjustments that need to be made? I'm most likely going to get them from Tire Rack so the install will be all on them. Also, could you silverstone owners share some pics of your rides with alloys? I'm partial to black wheels with chrome lips but not sure how that would look on silver.

18 or 20

I had 20s and they were stolen, they were on a 07 HHR that was lowered. it ride a little stiff. I now have 18s and they ride a little smother. I am partial to chrome. I have helo wheels which are chrome with black spokes and mine came with extra chrome spokes I think helo 866 wheels. I painted part of the black and chrome spokes with the orange body color I have had a lot of compliments. i have purchased from the tire rack and they are a good company.

Just remember that 26" is about the tallest tire you can fit in there. Any taller and it will rub the lower strut perch.

Unless I missed, what is the offset on these rims?
That's another one of those measurments that will determine if they'll work or not.

The offset is dead on at 40mm

That will work. So which rim size and tire size have you decided?
