98,000km, and yes, it's missing a pedal but it's momma's daily driver and although she is great with 3 pedals, for every day driving she prefers an auto.

You must have been peeking, I was just on Discount Tire and Tire Rack's websites taking a look to see what's there! Likely 17's.
Do you have a G8?
Nope. Looks like an affordable sleeper though. I think that sedan is better looking than the Aussi GTO. How about some exhaust cut outs for a little "car guy"enjoyment. My friend has them on his Masseratti. They are adjustable. Music to the ears!
Go to the Tire Rack website and enter your cars data. It will recommend the tire size you need. They have product reviews as well from customers.
Nice car. I spent some time in a friends G8 a few years ago
Really liked it!
The funny thing in all this is how anti-LS engine I am. I love the LT1's but I've never wanted an LS Firebird. I had no choice now though. I wanted a V8 rear drive again, and the selection is a bit slim if you want a GM.
I thought of a Caddy but they are for the rich folk...........(Right Geoff???)

I was hoping you did. I want to find someone who has put 17's on for the winter, to know what fits and what won't.
odd bolt pattern same as BMW 5-120 Impala e.g. is 5-115
BMW 3-series, Z-series, X-series are supposed to be the correct offsets to match the G8. Just always make sure you swap over at least an 18", and at least a +35 to +48 offset (width depending), unless you want your wheels to poke.

The thing is, I want to go to 17's because what I save on the winter tires between 17" and 18" will almost pay for new wheels.
The G8 offset is 48.

heres a note on using CTS rims
The 2009 CTS has a 17x8 wheel, offset is 48, which is the same as out factors wheels, only fitment problem may come with the 17" wheel size clearing the caliper. I know 17s fit on the back but not sure on the front. They should but not 100%.

Nice car Carl. You'll have to take us for rides at the next coffee night. I think you'll like the LS motor. All they need is clean oil and will live forever. And in this day and age they are Old School, who else still runs 2 valve push rod motors?
