I have been in the tire business my whole life, I don't need trivia lol. It's an 8.5" wheel and the tire bead to bead is just over 8.5" (225mm = 8.85"). Anyways, I decided to go with a 245/35R20 to get a wider footprint and a little more sidewall for cushion

im running 18X8s and put on a 245/40. 225 for you would have been stretching it and just wouldnt look right. Im glad you stepped up 2 sizes plus you will get a little more sidewall. No trivia here man juss tryin to help out.

I appreciate the help.
I know on my stockers, the tire is at the border-line for being too wide for the wheel. It has a slight curve inward, but not much. It would have been a tight fit, but I think the stretch would have been minimal. I am hoping the 245 will give me a little more comfort. I'll have to try out my HPTuners on the HHR for the first time and adjust the tire size. Maybe change a few other things too

Soon to come! The wheels will hopefully be in Monday or Tuesday and the pictures will be up short after they go on.
Once I recover from this, I plan on getting the Pedder coilovers to set it a little closer to the tires. I also want to upgrade the sway bars

Pedders coils are $$$$. Im sitting on the Stance coilovers. got them for a great price. And as far as the swaybars go i would suggest the Powell hardcore bar.
