Is there going to be issues with running a 19x8 wheel front and rear with the stock tires and 35mm offsets?
Is there going to be issues with running a 19x8 wheel front and rear with the stock tires and 35mm offsets?
These are the Wheels I'm looking to run.
2009 Liquid Red G8 GT
2011 L9H 6.2L Silverado 1500
2000 Ford RangeKrawler Project Truck
I have 20x8 and a 35mm offset and no issues. Well, at least until I lowered my car with the Pedder Track II springs. Still no issues in the rear but I do hear some thumps in the front on hard bumps. I should have replaced the strut mounts and dampers along with the springs...I think that would have kept that from happening.
2008 G8GT, Panther Black, 20"Breyton Race GTS, Pedder Track II Springs, 35% tint, a touch of Carbon Fiber Dash Stick-On, MagnaFlow Cat-Back, Roto-Fab CAI, Powerbond Underdrive Pulley, VMS tune, and GRRRR8 hood scoop & lower panel mods
I like the rear, but up front I had to double take to make sure it wasnt a stock steel wheel...
Maybe the same wheel in like a gunmetal? or maybe a flat black...

THOSE are awesome wheels and VERY light which you'll love. Just make sure they can handle the crappy streets the U.S. has now.
I am with Andy. Gunmetal would look better IMO. Not sure why but black gets lost on the G8. It's a more upscale car I guess.

All I can find them in is Silver and Black, and the silver doenst look as nice. The major reason for going with these rims is the fact that they are so light, I just dont understand how people buy these cars for the power then kill their performance with a heavy set of wheels.
