They are 18x8" with a 42mm offset. Same hub bore as the G8/Caprice as well, so you retain a factory hubcentric fit.

GM, caddie, camaro, G8, GTO, etc wheels will bolt on. 5x120.....

Also the silver stock wheels are not wheels? those are plastic hub caps like in "The tech" picture
The GTO wheels will bolt up, but they look a bit off ...

a properly sized tire on those wheels would probaby take care of the "off" look

To everyone....when posting information about your wheel setup....PLEASE provide ALL known/pertinent information possible/available, not just wheel width. Aftermarket wheels are all over the place when it comes to accuracy or availability of information, so please think of others reading this thread and others about wheels when posting.

1. Offset (or use of spacers)

2. Hub center bore - hub-centric ring required?

3. Weight

4. Any known clearance issues - caliper (if big brakes are in use), strut, wheel opening, etc.

5. Supplier PN

6. Finish as identified by supplier

7. Cost info, if willing to divulge

8. Source
