Looks great! I thought the G8's had bigger brakes that wouldnt allow 16's. How big of a tire can you fit on a g8? 315's?

Thanks man!! Actually they do have big brakes just not as big as the gxp's. Honestly there's not a whole lot of room between the rim and caliper they just clear. On a stock height g8 I believe you can go to a 10" rim with no modifications like rolling fenders

Such are the woes of having Brembos. Even if they make DR's for me it can't be that great in such a low profile.

Thanks man! Mods are pacesetter LT's, solo performance Mach shorty balanced catback, vararam and a street tune. No track numbers with the ccw's until tomorrow. On street tires I ran a 13.8@107 2.3 60' (left from idle) DA 3200ft hoping to dip into the 12's with these mods then I'm going to install the camaro diff, then a cam and stall will be soon after.

Damn, I'm not a big fan of the wheels but it definitely looks mean as hell.

Nice rim selection.....It loooks like you have the 3rd set of CCWs in a 16 inch rim size. Mine are 16x9.5 on the rear. Did they fix the clearance issue with the rear caliper ?? I have to run a small spacer on the rear.

Here's mine at the track running a 11.81@117....
