Been gone for a few months and finally someone does XXR 527's since my broke ass can never do anything cool to cars. Lovin'.

New wheels will be here tomorrow. Getting fenders rolled and pulled this afternoon to make a little extra room for them. I'll try to post up some pics this weekend.

Put in some work on the fenders last night. The rears on the HHR are a bitch to roll. We're going to have to do some cutting if the new wheels don't fit. The fronts came out nicely.

I posted some pics on Friday right after I had my wheels installed on the SS Cobalt Gang Facebook page...here's a few pics from yesterday after dropping the front down a little more. Need to see if I can do something with the rear. I'm already at full low but maybe I can take out the adjustment sleeve and get me a little bit lower. Still not 100% happy with the fitment...ordering extended studs this week and putting a 10mm spacer up front. That should get me close.

Oh yeah I love the wheel...the offsets and all are really hard to determine. I went with 18x9 +30 and I'm thinking I should have went with +20 for the front, +25 for the rears. The way the wheels are made I can't run a small spacer without doing extended studs. I plan to do that for the front and run a 10mm spacer...I'm guessing I'll leave the rear alone.

So much searching, hardly any results. Maybe you guys have better sources.

19x9.5 front and rear vs 19x8.5 front and rear. Offsets?

Ooooor

18s?

Thanks man I love them so far. I've gotta get the dremmel out and trim out some of my fender lining because I scrub pretty bad on right turns...I think the left side is maybe a 1/8" higher so it's not rubbing on turns. I was going to get spacers and **** and try to stance it out more but I've decided to keep it as is.

If youre only gonna do 8.5 wide a +25 would make it more flush

Could probably get away with a +20 in the front

I'm looking for no more than flush. No poke. Maybe a little poke.

It's a good looking wheel.

Slowbalt's post is about right. Most people running 8.5 aren't poking unless they have wheel spacers or adapters. I would imagine around a +25 to +30 would be ideal for the rear and +22 to +27 in the front to equal it out.
