Square Wheels G6

What's up TL. I ordered my coilovers & I have a buddy of mine selling these brand new.

Specs - 17x9 +15
5x114.3



Was wondering what you guys think & what size tires do you think would be appropriate?

You'll prob have to do ALOT of work to get them to fit lol.

Maybe if it was
18x9 *back
18x8 *front
i think it'll look great.

you will need to pull and roll your fenders in addition to running negative camber. definitely doable. you could go even wider with that offset too. probably up to 10.5 inches wide.

Negative camber in both the front & back? Thanks man. I'm looking into what I'd have to do to make these fit. Anybody's input will be appreciated. The tires I'm looking at are 205/45/17 in the front and 225/45/17 in the rear. What you all think?

Also, would I need to pull & roll the fenders even if I'm not dumped? I was thinking of mounting the rims first w/ the tires then just lower it after to the right spot. ?

With the rims 9" wide and +15 offset, not even rolling the fenders will make them fit properly.

You'll need custom bulging fenders for these rims.

A 205 on a 9 inch wheel?

Those wheels will look hilarious on a car that isnt dumped. And will stick out like daytons. lol

Gonna be a lot of work to make those fit, hope you know your way around body and paint

Not worth the extra work involved. I would rather look for my own set of wheels that sit flush with minimal body work needed.

Just gonna do that. Seems like too much work just to have a set of wheels.
