17" GTO Rims for Snow Tires
Searched but I can't find a clear answer. Will 17" GTO rims work on all four corners for snow tires? If, so is a spacer needed on front? If so, where to get the spacers?
Buying these would be a good deal cheaper than new wheels from TireRack. Thanks in advance for any guidance ...
http://www.wheeladapter.com/index.php more than likely high prices check ebay once you have the size needed.

Thanks. Still a little confused though. From those specs it doesn't seem like a spacer would be needed ... but it depends on how much clearance there is at the strut.
i read a 17" GTO rim will not fit without a spacer in the front but the back are fine ibelive the spacer that worked was a 3/8

Thanks. I looked on the other site but couldn't find an answer ... just goes to show - when in doubt, google.
In any case, I finally decided to bring my wife's old Montana back here from home in San Diego to thrash in winter weather. So no snows for the G8 this year. We'll see what happens next winter. Thanks again for the info.
