I've got a set of springs I could sell you if you want. They lower the front 1" and the rear 1.5" It wouldn't cause any rubbing.

19 STERN ST-6 5x110 CHROME WHEEL RIM HHR COBALT SAAB G6 - eBay (item 280535814150 end time Apr-12-11 23:52:21 PDT)

Anybody recommend a tire for this type of wheel?
235/35/19 if you're not slammed. 225/35/19's if you are. The ones in my sig are 235/35/19 Nitto Invo's, which run a little narrow. I'm on Progress springs. Keep your rear bump stops intact(uncut) to prevent rubbing.

Bumpin how do you like your progress springs? They look like a nice drop and I'm running 225/35/19's so I should be fine right?

What is your offset? You SHOULD be fine with 225/35/19's. I like the ride. It's not too stiff, but not too soft either. Paired with a set of SS/TC shocks and struts, they are awesome!

I'll almost guarantee they won't, based on spoke shape, and offset. Looks like they barely clear HIS calipers.

You MAY rub with SSC's. Progress drop ~1/2" less all around.

You should be fine with SSC's then. They drop about the same as Sportlines. SSC's are a little soft for my taste though. I had some on my car for a week, then I got a good deal on some Progress springs that someone bought for their wife, who didn't want to lower her car! lol

yes, my fitment is more aggressive than what you posted above and i was fine on progress springs and still fine even lower on coilovers so you'll be fine with that fitment as long as you stick with 225/35/19 tires

thanks man^..has anyone put lorenzo wl27's on their balts? iv searched all over and found one ss/tc sedan that had them but in the wrong color..the ones with the chrome lip and black spokes are what im leanin towards.. i'm torn though because i have always been a fan of basic 5 spoked wheels but I am having trouble finding a black spoked chromed lip rim that is in our bolt pattern..i am really looking for what remedy one had but i know he must have paid a lot to get those custom drilled

What wheels are these? I would not want them so deep dished, but still would like to know what brand they are.

Which model do you have? I guarantee those won't fit an SS/TC and they may not even clear pre 2008 SS calipers. The spokes curve inward too much.
