    Default 17" American racing

    I have 17" American racing "casino" rims in chrome that I had on my monte Carlo. Tried to research to see if it would fit on the G8.., but no luck so maybe someone here can help. Love these rims, they look new after 4yrs of me owning them, but something tells me they won't fit.

    They won't fit. The offset for a FWD will be incorrect and brake clearance issues.
