[@maryharlow420]

I know this vid is an oldy But it's goodies for me! I wanted meatier tires on mine since I got her You are totally inspiring I need that maybe lift I'm in California You just can't run snow tires 24-7 But I love that old scoo Alcoa vibe Any thoughts?

[@projectjwoo]

Now tires can go 24 7 they do have danger levels of delaping at 90mph but many Michigan people all season snows.. they just dont last as long! and thanks sub and like for more stuff!

[@maryharlow420]

Hello newbie here i have a dark red HHR lt 09 great cars

[@handicamper101]

the grill looks awesome. thinking about getting one of these and a roof top tent

[@projectjwoo]

I have been having the same feelings about the roof tent.

[@torykimbrough9236]

How did you get a 215/65 under the car with no modification. I'm running a 215/60. I've tried a 65 but it won't go under the strut. What all did you do to the front

[@projectjwoo]

cutting inner fender wells.

[@vidalfranco7905]

Do you have part number for the rims? Or rim specs offset etc..

[@projectjwoo]

16x7.5 et 30

[@davidphelps7763]

What are the rim dimensions on those wheels?

[@siltstrider6812]

yo my dood. Do you think if you put like, 2 inch wheel spacers, even larger wheels would have cleared the struts??

[@projectjwoo]

The wheel n tire combo works but yes spacers even less would.

[@jaymartin5774]

I love the those wheels i want some so bad but way out of my price range

[@projectjwoo]

there is a few 5x114.3 and 5x110 swap wheels out there keep looking Konig did

[@rachpatla8841]

Single female living in my hhr...were u at? I need your help turning my 2010 into a camper?!! Will bring the beer LOL

[@projectjwoo]

I'm flattered, we have more videos going over the changes to the car. i added a few things in my last trip feel free to check them out. HHR camper life is the best ;)

[@NyireG7]

Need Part 2 I want to do this with mine!

[@MrSalas-qz5tg]

My strut is just as close as yours is to the tire, but it rubs on it and wears away that part of the tire, how do i fix that? I got 215/55/17 tires

[@peterpaulseva7329]

Just curious and. I'm not sure if you'll be able to answer this for me or not? I've got a 2008 HHR and I'd live to put a set of 4 chrome old skool lookin' Cragar 5 spoke rims on it. The kind that were were popular back in the '70's. When I was growing up. Do you know if they still make those kinda rims that would fit on my HHR without having to us all sorts of custom adapters to for the hubs and all that kinda stuff? Please fill me in on any knowledge you might be able to share with me. THANKS!

[@projectjwoo]

Yesi can, So your hhr Lug padern sorta is tuff i believe of top my head its 5x110 (google search can fix) but if you need more options some model Cobalt that uses the same hub/barring bot on fitment i belive are 5x100 or 4x100. You can swap them to make a multi change wheel how ever keep searching but this is a not so hard modification for some major wheel choices but if you found some wheels keep em and have a off season set of normies..

Where you get the grill from ?

[@bayfinest1938]

Ebay

[@fistofthenorthstar9010]

you don't have to lift the body ?

[@projectjwoo]

Not with these tire specs . but we are working on doing that later down the road

[@fistofthenorthstar9010]

@@projectjwoo is there a kit you are planning on using ?

[@shiftygrandpa]

You can lift the HHR at least 4 inches without a body lift. I'm at 4 inches of lift by swapping the front struts, rear springs, and using larger tires. Axles are still within spec so they are not overly stressed. My HHR drives like a regular car and can go on the trails.

[@fistofthenorthstar9010]

@@shiftygrandpa do you have a parts list ?

[@Happydazeautoco]

@daily d2 . I would also love to see the parts list for a lift . thank you

[@QwkDraw]

Hate the music. Can't hear what you're saying.

[@projectjwoo]

We are a one man operation how ever the music ad times gets messy. I have been using mics more and adjusting the edits. being that i dont get paid and its a learn as it goes. Improvements are going slow. Thanks for posting though it reminds me to keep that in mind on edits. I believe for my HHR edits we are going to non music on vlog part. just because my hhr watch base its a older group. new hhr content soon!
