Could always switch it up for some 11mm spacers? I would buy some stock tires anyways but that is only cause I like have a set of full size spares incase something happens to my other wheels. You are deciding on 20s or not and I am trying to decide on 20s or 21s.

but I am...
fighting the urge to put a apc racing banner on the windshield.
Jason, for sure, man...
I guess my thinking is PC costs, or repair, and or new tires are all money that could go toward another set...then I can rack the oem for when I sell the car. We shall see.
Drove it about 100 miles yesterday...what a perfectly poised car on the highway...had an S4 with exhaust and debadge mess with me as I got close to home. He was probably disappointed
that he couldn't get within an 1/8th of a mile of me on the highway.

I'm assuming so...he had a weird quad turned up exhaust...I thought maybe it was a wannabe A4 or something but he was actually pretty fast coming up on me...but every time he tried, I'd give it a little (dj) mustard and would leave him in the dust. On the 3rd time he stopped trying. I waved at him as I exited the Highway to show him proper etiquette and politeness.

The CTS-V has huge wheel arches. Had I not seen pictures of it I would think they would be too.
The rear fitment is perfect. Not sure why he didn't go with wider rears but the fitment is exactly what I am looking for. The front could be a little more flush.

poor bastard
That is true it could all go towards a new set. With as much as I drive I like have a spare set ready though as I don't always know when I will be traveling for work and especially with 3pc wheels you never know if one might spring a leak.

No I haven't. You thoughts of ordering coilovers has me on the fence now. Even if you didn't end up doing it you have me second guessing now that it might be the only way to get the perfect heigh. Especially if going with aftermarket wheels.

I am still wondering if my shocks are bad or my bushings are bad or both. Getting a lot of squeaks lately.

Man those 21s look sick. I take my remark back. Theres another blue vagon Ive seen on the net with black wheels and they appear to be 20s and it looks great because he's a little lower than the one with 21s but that setup looks amazing. I agree wider tires in the rear are a must on that setup in the pics

DWs are good enough brah.. get 'em!
Serious though.. if you really want a tire to put it down, NT555Rs all day.
Some guys daily drive them too.. I wouldn't recommend, especially in FL.

50% off expensive is still expensive.. reps.

At least the rears.

What I'm saying is.. those DW rears are the real deal.
The fronts aren't that great of a deal, you can get them later for not that much more.. comprende?
