Replacing custom 17's with stock wheels
Greetings all..
I still got my old 2006 HHR LS.. Im currently using 225/50r17 Hankooks on a set of 17" RIAX Fontana rims.
I forget the actual wheel specs as I bought them like 15 years ago... I think they're something like 17.5x7... But I can't find any info out there about them..
Anyway I'm needing to replace them cause one got bent pretty bad and can't be fixed so I figured we could go to our local Pull A Part junkyard and salvage a set of the original 17" alloys off some HHR's there...
My only question is... Will the tire fit?

I run 225/50/17's on mine w/factory 17" x 6.5" wide polished mags, so no problem for you.
Stock rubber would be 215/50/17, it never came with 55 series 17"ers. Those would be too tall to clear the strut
Pic below is with a 26.1" tall tire..

Ok... and so now my next question is...
Is the bolt pattern, the same, across all model years of each HHR?
Can I take a factory 17" Rim off a 2010 HHR LT for example, and put it on a 2006 LS?
I know the 2006 and pretty sure the 2007 models the wheels were interchangeable... just the LS didn't come with the 17" as an available factory option, only the LT's had that, even though they still fit on the LS.
