Tyres and wheels for Chevrolet HHR, wheel size on Шевроле ХХР

Tires on Chevrolet HHR (Шевроле)

The debut of the Chevrolet HHR took place in 2005, when the North American brand presented a compact van in a retro style, largely borrowed from the cars of the 1940s, primarily from the Suburban. Behind the appearance hid a fairly trivial set of technical solutions, which allowed the car to successfully compete with the relevant compact crossovers of the 2000s.

American styling of the 1940s

The key feature of this model was its exterior design. The body was distinguished by rounded wings, a high roof line, and an elongated hood, characteristic features of American "panel wagons" of the mid-20th century, along with a massive radiator grille and round headlights, creating a easily recognizable silhouette. The rear part was made in the style of commercial vans of the past: a vertical trunk lid, compact lights, and a high threshold. Such a design not only emphasized the retro character of the car but also gave it practicality, allowing for the most effective use of internal space.

Platform and design features

Technically, the car was close to the Chevrolet Cobalt. The front-wheel drive platform with a transverse engine layout provided compact dimensions and a relatively low weight. The front suspension is made according to the MacPherson scheme, the rear is a semi-dependent beam with torsional stiffness. Such a layout is typical for compact class cars and provides a good balance between comfort and stability. Engineers paid attention to body stiffness and noise insulation. Despite the utilitarian appearance, the car is designed for long trips and can provide a fairly high level of acoustic comfort.

Under the hood of the car, one of several gasoline engines could be located. The "base" was a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine, developing 143 horsepower. Later, a more powerful 2.4-liter engine appeared in the lineup, which produced 175 horsepower. This engine allowed the car to demonstrate more confident dynamics on the road. A special place was occupied by the sports version HHR SS. It was equipped with a turbocharged engine with a power of over 250 horsepower, which turned the externally calm van into a fairly fast car. The power unit could be combined with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.

Salon and functionality

One of the key features of the car was its practical interior. The high roof line provides a large margin of space above the head for all passengers. The front panel has a simple but functional architecture. The central console is oriented towards the driver, and the controls are logically and conveniently located. The trunk is distinguished by a large volume. The rear seats fold down, forming an almost flat cargo platform. Thanks to this, the car is able to transport fairly bulky items. An interesting feature was the possibility of installing a folding shelf and special compartments for storing tools and small items.

Differences from "classmates"

In the American market, the model competed with the Chrysler PT Cruiser, Scion xB, and Dodge Caliber. The main difference of the HHR was its more expressive retro styling. Unlike most competitors, the car did not strive to look modern - on the contrary, its design consciously referred to classic American models. In addition, the car was distinguished by a more spacious trunk and wide possibilities for transforming the salon. This made it convenient both for family trips and for cargo transportation. Another advantage was the SS version, which offered a level of dynamics rarely found in compact vans.

The standard wheels for this car were with a landing diameter from 16 to 18 inches with tires 215/65 R16, 225/55 R17, and 225/50 R18. It is convenient to select suitable kits in the online store "Mosavtoshina", where a wide range of models is presented.
