Hey,
have a little rim/tire question:
have a 2008 LT HHR 2.4L with stock rims (17") on it.

Will fit these Rims:
18" 5x110 8,5" Offset 35

with these tires:
225/40/18

Eibach lowering springs installed.
Can i use the stock bolts or are they too short?!
Are any modings needed?
I already checked sizes with http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp
but my misgiving is that the tire/rim is to close to the springs or something else?!

Thanks in advance
Mateng


P.S.: Hope you understand what i wrote ... sorry for my bad english ... i'am a german HHR-Driver and my english isn't the best

I am not sure if a 8.5" wheel will fit or not without rubbing issues. the only place you would have to worry about them rubbing at would be against the strut.

try one on sounds close

Thanks for your answers

Nobody here who has 8.5" with Offset 35 in 18" installed on his HHR ??? ... maybe in 19"

I have 20x8.5 on mine, its really close to the front strut but doesn't rub....

masterchief1112

you might rub on hard turns

Mateng

@dudeasif ... sounds good ... also with Offset 35 ?!

-> i will try the new shoes on and give a response

bartSS

why would you put such a skinny tire on a 8.5" rim. I have 245s on a 8"

Thats the fashion now, stretched tires on wide rims.

Mateng

rim/tire combination is good.
no rubbing and not to close to the strub.

thanks 2 all
