No Rubbing!
Rear wheel wells have been trimmed. I used a snap-on air saw blade and trimmed 15mm or about a 1/2 an inch. Took about 15 min a side then sanded smooth and used 3M undercoating to protect the exposed metal. She drives the car daily and no rubbing what so ever if the wheels rubbed I would be the first one to pull them off. I will take some pictures of the rear tires this weekend and I believe she has put about 3k miles on the car since. Thanks

Rear outer fenders where rolled just in case, don't want to cut up the new tires. I was suprised with the ride, not bad at all! All in All she is very happy and I enjoyed doing it for her. Oh! can't forget the stubby antenna from SoCalHHR's. Larry in Calif.

The only firmness felt was from the 30 series tires, but all in all you got to love the HHR! Here are some pictures.

Here you go SOCAL!
I took some pictures of her car today, 2800 miles have been put on the HHR since the lowering. Sorry for the quality of the pictures but I used her camera. The car is driven daily and has had 3 people at one time and no rub marks on the rear tires. If i had not trimmed the rear fenders the tires would have been cut up pretty good. Here are some pictures of each side.
