Little bigger than 1 inch...I believe 1.05 or something. And no cutting was needed thankfully.

Heres the results! Car is lowered on Cobalt SS Cm springs...thinkin about getting coils now.

Where'd you buy those spacers? Car looks good man. From what I've been reading I heard you had to cut the lugs on 1" or so.

Wheel Adapters, Wheel Spacers, Hub Rings, and much more! | Motorsport Tech

My stock stud sticks out a little bit but the SS/TC rims have room for it.

Wow that's surprising. I'm impressed actually and can appreciate that. I'll definitely be looking into that when I decide to get spacers.

a pound or 2 is a big deal in rotational mass...thats why people want lightweight wheels, because it makes a difference...maybe i can find some lightweight tires to make up the added weight...
i think conti and sumitomo tires only weigh 21lbs and the tires i have now weigh 26lbs

yes 26MM on the HHR but keep in mind he switched to SS/TC wheels which are narrower than stock HHR SS wheels so he needed the boost, also why he didnt need to cut stock studs.

26MM is hefty for a cobalt. check back a page or two to the Red ss/sc with the plastidipped trunk, that car has 1" around with ss/tc wheels and the back sticks out 1/2 past the fender and bottoms out everywhere and its past the point where rolling the fender makes a difference. Hes going down in tire size to make the "stance" look, but for functionality he will be losing traction with a narrower tire.

Yea for daily use I don't mind running them. And the cobalt rims are a few pounds lighter than the Hhr stock rims so its not like I really gained any weight not to mention I'm running a smaller tire than what comes on a Hhr stock.

No, 2 pounds on the center of each wheel really doesn't do anything.
