Dude, this is for dragracing. Post it in the wheels/tires thread.

18" tire fits on an 18" rim,you just need to measure your stock backspace to be sure they are the same . Tire Rack may be able to give you that answer.

What's the back spacing in millimeters?

Dont waste your time with the 18s.

It seems like the back spacing is a little too much.

You are correct, but this is not G8 Boards and someone will move it. I understand why he posted it here since it pertains to his ability to drag race on a certain tire/wheel.

Consider it moved. :)

After further investigation it seems like the back spacing won't be an issue. Tirerack has a wheel that will fit the G8s. The specs are below. It looks like you could actually go up a size in width for your tires.

Offset: +35mm
Backspacing: 6.65"
Bolt Pattern: 5-120
Rec. Tire Size:275/35-19

Thats the tire I want for the 19in GTS wheels for everyday driving.

I'm debating between the Breytons and these.

19" x 8" front and 19" x 9.5" rear.

Breytons are about the same price but the shipping from Australia is $300 with around 8 weeks of wait time.
