That is a nice looking wheel. I'm hanging out here in the hopes zapshd buys them and posts his experience with fitment. If all goes well, I'm going to find a set of these for my 09.

There you go, and personally I love the 16X7's they look more period correct for the vintage HHR body style.
We do have a cool tool up in the tool bar click on tools then click on tire rim calculator and get a tire size idea. |
tire pressure sensors
thanks guys, while i have your ears, what are they gonna charge me to reinstall my tps sensors in the wheels, 2 of them are brand new.

They will be fine. The 12.5mm(1/2") rim width change is split between inner and outer width, so the 7 mm offset difference makes them REAL close.
Use a calculator if you don't believe me, but if you want 'em, no need to fret. |

Use a calculator if you don't believe me, but if you want 'em, no need to fret. The OP is starting with a 6.5" wheel, with a 42mm offset... It's almost all shifted to the outside...:twothumbs: Going from a stock 6.5" wheel with a 42mm offset, to a 7" wheel with a 35mm offset, will shift at least a 1/2" to the outside...:twothumbs: They are still a good fit...:twothumbs: |
The problem is you cannot rely on quoted measurements, the only way to be sure is a test fitting or a wide margin for error. My current wheels are 16x7 with 38mm offset and wouldn't fit. The shop that did the mounting and installation didn't even give them a spin to check for rubbing. I drove out with a horrible grinding and found the wheels were dragging on the front calipers. A quick trip to the store for two 1/8" spacers solved it.
In this case I would go for the 17s due to the extra backspacing to clear the brake calipers. |
Finally my point has been backed up thank you Prod.
See them, feel them , test fit them , then buy them! |
