As for clearances for Forgeline wheels, it doesn't really get any more perfect than this:

I think the Camaros are fantastic but need/like/want 4 doors. With the mechanicals between the G8 and Camaro being so close, and given the after-market involvement with the Camaro, this site is a great place to see and learn about what is new. Being built on basically the same platform lets us share a fair number of bits and pieces as well as technology, capabilities and knowledge.

A lot of what I see Camaro owners "discovering" are the same things we G8 owners "discovered" earlier, ( in large part due to you and Pedders involvement). With all the interest, it has just been pushed further than for the G8. There are so many more choices now.

Do you really need a spare tire wheel in your G8
With just a bit of sheetmetal work we could fit a ZL1 style bar to your G8 with a set of ZL1 arms

Oh my! It never ends, does it? I was actually wondering if this was possible.

If enough is good, too much has got to be better, right? LOL

Too good to be true, but it is true. Enough is never enough.

Wait for the SS performance. It's Chevy's version of the Holden Commodore. It will the first 4 door rear wheel drive in 14-17 years.
