What year is that CTS-V? The new 2009 CTS-V comes with 19" wheels and 14.57" front / 14.37" rear rotors. Based on the photos of the wheel/brake combo on their website, their isn't much room between caliper and the rim on the fronts.

I'm with the general consensus here. Make measurements of the rim before buying. 18s will be a very tight squeeze.

I want 18's. I hope there is enough clearance.

I think that 18's will work because the ZR1 get 15" rotors and 19" front wheels. I hope the LS wheels will fit the SS so I can use them as winter wheels with snow tires.

We have some weird sizes on the 5th gen. Anyone know what tire combos will fit on the factory wheels? I'm looking at ranges, obviously I know the oem sizes.

there are plenty of vettes & zo6's that run 18 inch rims
