Try using google images and search for G8 wheels or G8 rims. There are many pics of G8's with aftermarket wheels on there. Good Luck

Would CTS-V's fit all the way around? 255's on the front and 285's on the back?

Or are you saying that only 255's will fit all the way around?

Almost anything you want.....

Look in GRRRR8.net and G8board.com ...You'll find a good bit over there.... All I have is stock and drag pack wheels


You can hit tire rack too for options but if you have the coin CCWs look **** IMO on a G8

I will throw a quick picture of my daily driver up on here. These are Forgestar F14's in gunmetal. I know it isn't the greatest picture (taken with my camera phone), but I think it will get the job done. The white "marks" on the side are something from the picture and aren't really there.

I have cts-v wheels on my car, 9" in the front and 9.5 in the rear. Yes it is possible to run 255's in the front and 285's in the rear. If you do a search on grrrr8.net for "pedders lowered" you can find pics, I go by Darkphoenix over there

Here is a picture of my current wheels. They are Bremmer Kraft BR01's 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear 255's up front and 275's rear. I think they look nice but I am tired of polishing chrome and I want to install Brembo brakes so I will more than likely be going with a set of Camaro wheels also.

Go OEM with Camaro wheels or OEM GM wheels the car wears Down Under (and there are a lot of them).

http://www.jhp.com.au/g8partsdirect/Wheels.htm

I have HSV GTS 20" wheels on my GXP. They are the same wheels the G8 GT show car wore that GM used to introduce the model.
