Put my Silver SS Camaro wheels on the G8 today. The tires are Continental Extreme Contacts DWS 245/35 in front and 275/30 in the rear. The center caps are G6 center caps.

Good god, I am sold. I'm buying a G8 and throwing Camaro wheels on it. It's a freaking perfect match.

G8 wheels don't fit on the GTO, the hub opening in the wheels is too small. GTO wheels will fit on the G8, but it's not a good idea to do it since the hub opening is larger and the lugs end up centering the wheels.

We can have the wheels safely grinded to fit. It's been done.

Sure the hub opening hole can be bored larger, but it has to be done on a large lathe so the opening is concentric to the outside of the wheel. Also G8's have 14mm wheel stud holes and the GTO has 12mm holes, so they will be a little sloppy fitting around the wheel studs. But since the lugnuts are tapered it shouldn't be an issue, but you never know, specially if the car has a lot of power.
