LOL, it's my own creation. I'm running SS suspension, front brakes, and wheels/tires. And I'm working on getting the rest of the parts for my S/C. I toyed with throwing SS on it once it was blown, but it just didn't seem right. The way I see it, it's like the Formula Fiero's, all the GT running gear, without the body kit. Really, it's just a 1LT that I've done some work to, and is nowhere near done.

Welcome I just got my 09 about two months ago.

Not to Hijack this thread. I have a LS with 16" Hub caps. Did they make a 16 alloy that these same tires will fit on? What about the TPMS? Thanks. I don't want to break the bank but hate the bag of marbles sound from the hub caps.

The wheels from a SAAB 9-3 fit. They are the same size and aluminum. And they look awesome.

Wheel/Tire package calculator - you can use this and enter your before/after specs to get an idea of what the outcome will be.

Hey, We are running 18's on our 2008.



Be aware… My daughter hit a pothole and damaged the sidewall of the DS front tire. The tire still had lots of tread, but had to be replaced. The low profile tires don't tolerate damage like the regular tires do and can be expensive.

thanks, Jimmy
