new wheel

Ordered one wheel for test fitting and to find out correct spacer needed for front and rear. Went with an 18x9.5. I already got tires on the way now just to order the spacers will update soon. heres some pictures of what they look like.

Enkei Raijin??? If so, they come in 18x9.5 in +35. That's what they look like. Only problem is they don't come in the 5x110 so.... hub conversion, adapters,?

Maybe it's not a Cobalt.

Just noticed they're not Enkeis because they have the little holes between the lug holes..... so disregard.

Wheel isn't a Enkei. Ill let you know x brand once I get everything together. Waiting on custom spacers now.. Its going on a hhr and wheels were drilled to 5x110.

fits the HHR perfect with spacers! the YYZ will really perk up the HHR and make it a great combo for you, the rear springs can handle exceptional loads, and still a decent ride.

I figure with 5 mm spacers you are about 2mm closer than i am, you may have a little scuffing on the strut from the tire but I doubt it will be anything to worry about. The rear normally would run into the plastic inner fender liner, but with YYZ you will be good under load at the rear.

It's good to know that 9.5 fit. I'm going to be getting a set for my TC. Just don't know if I want to try and stretch 215s or get wider tires....

So OP, did you swap the hubs or are you running adapters? If these are the same wheels I am thinking of, they don't come in 5x110 or 5x114.5 I believe
