These fitments are ideal for the SS Sedan/Commodore/G8 owner who wants to fill out the wheel wells with perfectly flush offsets. These fitments are sometimes direct bolt-on, but often times require small spacers, negative camber, or rolled fenders for the sake of dialing in the perfect blend of function and form.

Narrower tire sizes relative to wheel width are more common here to help move the tire sidewall away from the fenders with more aggressive offsets. Street-oriented all-season and summer tires are popular options.
