camaro wheels?
I see alot of people run them, i have a set off a 2011. Just wanted to know if you have to run spacers or are they just bolt in? And do you use the camaro lug nuts or the camaro lug nuts?
Thanks jon

just a little info i found out doing my own research on the camaro wheels. they are extremely heavy. Also, unless you get 4 front wheels, you will more than likely have a slight rubbing issue with people in the back seat over bumps, etc. (unless you get the fenders rolled).
I am still debating the TSW Nurburgrings (forged and weigh almost 9lbs less than the factory 18's EACH) or going with the factory 19's (love the stock look) i am really trying to balance cost vs performance best bang for the $$$$ as i just picked my car up and am building an ultra light weight stroker for it over the next few months. I can get the camaro wheels pretty cheap, i'm starting to understand why now... They look great, i love that look, perfect match to the G8 but the weight and low profile tire really hurt that choice for me. good luck.

Stock lugs work fine and with the 275/30/20's in the rear you won't have any rubbing unless you're overloaded or lowered.
I have them on mine with no rubbing and I'm down an inch. They ARE much heavily but look awesome on the 8!

Just an FYI, 20" tires are actually CHEAPER than 19"'tires. By about half. The 20s look good, everyone has them now, but they really fill out the wheel wells. They are heavier but that's the price to look good.

Just did 20s on the wife's G8.
Youll need shorter tires and you have to use G8 lug nuts for the strange 14x1.5 thread pitch. I ordered a set off amazon to go chrome since the stock lug nut caps wont work as the stud comes through too much.
