These look like these are going to bring me more of a headache then they are worth. Because if I'm not mistaken im looking at paying for redrilling, extended studs and something like a 10mm spacer to fit the rear.

That's got to be the sickest fitment I've seen on a Balt!

My new wheels are due in any minute...I'm actually a little nervous about getting them. I'm pretty sure the size will be good, but I'm just hoping they look good on my HHR. I'm planning to get them installed around lunch time so hopefully (weather permitting) I can get a picture this afternoon. I don't think they'll give me quiet the "stance" needed to be accepted but it should fill out better than the 7.5" Enkeis I'm running now.

Terrible pic with my crusty iPhone 4. I'll try to get some better shots later. I've got a little rubbing on the passenger caliper but it's very minor. Planning to file down the two high spots this afternoon. Drove it back to work and it didn't make any noise so I'm hoping I should be good.

I'll take it! Looks better in person...hopefully I can get some better pics. The guy at Kauffman took some pictures of it on his phone and it came out much nicer.

It'll also help with the rubbing on the caliper.

I'm with you...rear fitment is great. I've got to get my rear fenders rolled. The front...I'd be 100% satisfied with a 15-20mm spacer. I may end up installing longer studs and running the spacers. I'm okay for now though...it looks so much better than the enkeis.

That looks really good, definitely agree with needing a spacer up front but the back fitment is nice. Are your coils maxxed out?

Thanks guys...I think I've found a set of wheels I'm happy with! The fitment looks great in person...I'm running some camber in the front until I get my fenders rolled then I'll pull it back out and get some spacers. That'll probably have to wait until next year though.

As for my coils...yeah the rear is maxed out...the front is as low as I want to go. I had maxed them out up front but I had major issues with rubbing and axle bind. I'm still dealing with some axle bind but not as bad.

Can you raise the trans and engine mounts a little.

I think TTR makes a kit to do it...need to check into it and see. I've got some low speed vibration...luckily nothing at high speeds.

It will kill those CVs fast like that. If you can definitely look into raised mounts it will save you a lot of headaches in the long run. Raise your steering rack as well if you have not already.

I haven't raised the steering rack...I think that's what TTR sells. I'm not sure if they make a kit to raise the trans for the automatics. I've know a guy that has a shop so I may get with him and see about doing something custom for me.
