Cadillac Gen 3 CTS-V Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide

Desiring to improve the performance of your 2016-2019 Cadillac CTS-V Gen 3? You'll find exactly what you need to do here in our CTS-V Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide. Whether you're looking to freshen up the appearance of your street car, or lower your lap times on track, our guide provides both wheel size and tire size recommendations, along with suspension setups, for your scenario. Check out options available in our Forged wheels such as the VS-5RS, SM-10RS, or EC-7RS, or take a look at Flow Formed wheels like the EC-7 and SM-10.

Whether you enjoy spirited street driving or you're a weekend track warrior chasing lap times, these wheel & tire configurations are ideal for Cadillac CTS-V owners looking for a more dramatic improvement in performance. They are typically paired with performance oriented summer tires or track oriented R-compounds and this category includes both staggered and square configurations to best suit each individual drivers priorities, goals and preferences for their vehicle.

We've optimized the offset of our wheels to work well with the stock fenders, however, a wide variety of tire compounds can be used and some may require negative camber to fit properly. See fitment notes under each tire configuration below to see if modifications are required. If you plan to track your CTS-V, we highly recommend dialing in negative camber regardless of whether your wheel/tire fitment requires it for fender clearance. Negative camber is vital for extracting the most performance and longevity out of your tires, and without the proper amount the outer shoulders of your tires will wear out prematurely and running tire costs will dramatically increase.

Whether you are a casual weekend track warrior that still enjoys your car on the street, or a hard core racer competing for a spot on the podium, negative camber is a vital part of chassis setup that has many benefits. Not only will adding negative camber create more room for wider wheel and tire configurations, it more importantly improves handling, turn-in and tire longevity.
