Wheel swap question

I have an opportunity to get a set of literally new SS wheels and tires. I have the stock 17's and I know the 18's will fit.

I need to know if the ECM needs to be reflashed. I have a leveled summit white 2LT and think the SS wheels will look amazing. Since they dont make a SW SS, it would be unique with the wheels on the 2LT.

Decisions, decisions.

Hey Don,

You Really Don't Want to Put the SS Tire and Wheel Combo on Your HHR! I Know of a Silver Delivery that They Might Look Nice On ! The TPS Might Need to Be Re-Programed But Other than that it Should Be a Trouble Free Install and Look Pretty Sweeet !

Happy Holidays,

agreed on the SW needed for the SS. that was my #1 choice, and went black when i found out it isn't offered.

Don, do it man! the wheels are awesome, look incredible, and the finish would look great with your SW. ECM should be fine, go with the standard tire sie and you should only be off by a tiny, basically unnoticable amount, as Chad said. the TPMS would need to be handled more than likely though.

Don,

Are you buying new sensors or using your current ones?
