Default New staggered 20's

Just thought I'd post a few pics of my Sport Edition ST5's. 20x8.5's with Sumitomo 255/35's up front 20x9.5 with 275/35's in the rear. I've got the Eibach Pro kit and have now rubbing at all. The fit is perfect.

Those are the nicest non-black wheels I've seen on a G8 so far.

Thanks, nice compliments and I'm very happy with them. They look killer going down the road or just sitting still. It looks so much better then the pictures even look. Thanks again.

Those look good. I like the concave look of the rear wheels.

looks badass, dont usually like red cars but that one looks sick. done very well witht he lowering and choice in wheels. the g8 needs custom stuff to really set it apart from the rest since they all look the same and you have chosen some nice parts to make your stand out.

I'll be honest; I was a bit afraid to open this thread to find enormous 20" chrome bling bling wheels. I am delighted to see exactly the opposite and a beautiful set of wheels that really set off the car!

I'm not a bling guy and these are very good looking wheels that fit the car perfectly. I had chrome 19's that I took off and am very happy I made the change. Thanks for the comments.

Yep, fortunately the G8 takes well to 20".

It does, with the right tire combo. Short tire sydrome does not work well on these cars. I like a little taller tires and that fills out the fender well much better and it helps to have lowered it also.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I've done a bunch of cars in my 57 years and I've had about everything for prostreet to just muscle and a bunch of drag cars and my share of lowered trucks and even an impala with air ride. I try to keep them clean and very driveable. Thanks again

#4 is my favorite, they fill up the rear fender well very nice. Reminds me of the C63 amg wheels, good choice!
