Tire/rim question. need help

Sooo for some reason i can never really learn/remember how to find out if tires will fit a rim. I found a really great deal on Coker wide whitewall tires, size P215/75/14. That means 14 inch rims, right? I want to get smoothie rims with baby moon caps on them. What size rims should I look for? Or do I need more information than what I am asking now? Thanks ahead of time for your help!

215 (width of tread in MM)/ 75 (height of sidewall in MM) / 14 (diameter of rim in inches)

Actuall, the 75 is aspect ratio, it is a percentage of the width. In this example, the sidewall height is about 75% of the width of the tire.

There are 16" rims that fit the HHR. The key for any HHR wheel is matching the bolt pattern which is 5X110. Here is a place that sells smoothies with the baby moons that fit the HHR:

They will powder coat the smoothie for you too ($40 per wheel) charge. I just purchased the rallye wheels and had Pete Paulsen paint them Red:

Look for something that will fit the HHR and 14's won't unless they are to be carried around in the rear to look at. Maybe you got another vehicle you plan to use them on. I have 15's for winter tires and they just clear the rotors.

Don't think the 14" rims will clear the front brake calipers. Think, 16"

14" will not clear clear the calipers. The only size I have seen in that style come in 16x6.5 . WHEEL VINTIQUES is the brand. I got mine at summitracing.com.
