I need some 17s wide enough to put some drag radials on the GXP. From what I gather the GTP guys use mustang wheels for track wheels as the offset is close. I can't clear 16s because of the size of the front brakes and I also need the proper offset so that the width of the tire is outwards rather than in up against the strut. I think my stock wheels have a +55mm if I'm not mistaken. Anyone near pittsburg have some stock 17s I can try on to see if they clear properly? Or suggestions as to which wheels I should try?

I thought the G8's had the same lug pattern as Audis, or BMW's?

PM Iceman, he has a GXP...
