Quick wheel compatibility question

Stumbled over a set of 1998 Cadillac Catera wheels. Will they fit my HHR panel with 16" wheels? Offset okay?

So it looks like since there are 225 55 16 Tires on 16" OEM Alloys (with center caps from 1998 Caddy Catera) that I WON'T need the spacers. I like the tire sensors and have never messed with them in the past so no idea how much hassle it would be to keep them with the Catera's if I go that route. Old school guy here - in the past had a 38 chevy, 426 Dodge, etc. The HHR is a panel and we use it for the bed and breakfast here.

Sounds like they'll fit with no spacer. Waiting on pictures before I consider looking at them. Come with supposedly good 225 55 16 Tires on the 16" OEM Alloys with center caps from (1998 Caddy Catera). Should I have an issue with the tire size? Might be able to just swap and go but I need to hear from someone for sure because I want some better looking wheels but I sure don't need 4 with tires that won't fit. Help?

Tire size is perfect, no issues there...
I ran 225/55/16 snow tires, when I 1st got my buggy...
You may need just a minimum spacer of 3mm, easily found on ebay, as the thick Catera wheel spokes, may be close to your calipers.

You can re-use your stock tpms (tire) sensors, you would only need 4 new correct rubber valve stems, the sensors just slide on the valve stem & are held on by one screw (per wheel)..

Any auto parts should have them @ $3. per valve stem..

Well, no movement on the Cateras. I've asked for photos three times and been too they'd be sent right out and no response. Hate it when people have things for sale and then don't do their side. Tried to get some response from the guy with the powder coated green Vintiques listed too. Nothing abutter three emails. Need something not too expensive for the panel here for a small bed and breakfast.
