GM has been offering big rims and tires on almost all of their cars lately. All of their cars (with the exception of the Aveo) have that wide, thick look to them. I think they have to offer a minimum of 19 inch wheels on this car. The fender wells and rear haunches are HUGE on this car. Even with bringing the fenders in 5mm, its still a massive area to fill out. I have seen the concept in person and 17 inch to 18 inch rims just don't seem feasible to me. The car will look funny with smaller tires. I think even the V6 will have 19s on it. This car is built for the Chip Foose look.

If it comes with smaller rims ie 17’s and/or 18’s then the tire is going to have a larger side wall to make up the difference. I personally like the look of a little more side wall on my hot rods…
