well we just got the tranny back on my trans am so i'm going to run that this friday. so either this wednesday or next wednesday i'm going to borrow some stock camaro 17s with drag radials and go try it again.

 

I'm not sure if those will fit. Keep in mind backspacing. I know that you could probably fit a GTO 17 inch rim with no problems. I plan on doing that, and using my 275/45/17 MT ET street radials off the fun car for the track. I could be wrong, just don't want you to waste your time finding out the hard way... Better safe than sorry, you know?

 

The Fbody 17x9s (50mm offset) will fit on the car. The bolt circle on the G8 is 5x120mm (5x4.72") the wheels are 5x120.65mm (5x4.75").

I have a set of the 17x9s and they will fit the G8.

You can also use Vette 18x9.5s (56? offset) if you want to use an 18" DR.

 

Good to know. Looks like I have some ET Street Bias plys to mess with too...

I know it is a small difference, but in some cases that difference means it won't fit. The wheels have been off the car to rotate, and that's about it... so far...

 

just a thought but isnt the camaro the same platform? just use the camaro tire/rim spec. I hope the new camaros wont have this issue too.

 

I'm here to agree that the GXP is seriously lacking in the traction department! It is WAY too easy to light the tires up in first and second! It's fun, but too easy.

 

Did you finally get yours?

 

Why yes I did!
