Posted by: blackCTS04

im not sure of the max size rims i can put on my 04 cts im thinking in the ballpark of 19" to 20" but i cant find any wheels for an 04 just an 03 any help would be appreciated

Uhh... anything that matches the bolt pattern should be fine, shouldn't be many problems finding things for an '04.

Tirerack.com is always a safe bet, but you won't find anything too exotic.

Remember to keep in mind the performance loss when upgrading to larger rims

Performance minded, I wouldn't EVER go bigger then a 19inch rim. Stock V series will look good on a 6cylinder model. Also, there is a really nice split spoke wheel that replaces the stock V series model as an option, check it out.

Stock V-series are a 6 lug bolt pattern.
All V6 CTS's use a 5 lug pattern.

what about TIS03's im thinkin about those

Posted by: Sunflauer

Hey i just bought 20" chrome wheels for my CTS..I love the way it looks. Any tire/wheel place should be able to tell you which wheels will fit your bolt pattern. Good luck! and by the way the performance is still incredible as well as now it looks dang good!

I went with Diablo Fatboys (please don't bite) and the Falken Azenis ST115 20" tires. I originally wanted the TIS 03, but they didn't have them available. I am glad I didn't, because so many 300's have them. Find what you like and try to be original. Good luck

Bolt Pattern on the Caddy is 5x115... There are thousands of wheels out there.
I wouldn't go more than 19x9 on the wheels. You may run into some problems if you go wider than that. Remember the offset is different for RWD than FWD. Usually negative. Any reputable Wheel/Tire dealer will work all this out for you.

[*] 20" NEED I SAY MORE

Posted by: RedGalant2k1

245/35-20 can fit on the V6 CTS.
20x8.5" wheels are your best wheel width.
40mm+ is your best offset choice.

Much like this Cadillac CTS:

20" On a New CTS!!

I have an 04 3.6L CTS and a 99 Grand Prix GTP.

The GTP has 20x8.5 rims and 255/35/20 tires.

I have seen quite a few people commenting on how these tires will fit the CTS.

NOT EVEN CLOSE!

Sure... they will fit if you don't drive the car! You can't even turn the wheel without it rubbing on the front fender.

255/35/20 are all of 1.75mm bigger around.

Offset was 38mm

If your going to go with 20's get 30 series.

Ended up ordering some 245/35/19 S-03's and 19x8.5 44mm offset rims. Should have them in a week.

GTP stock tires 225/60/16
CTS stock tires 225/55/16 - 225/50/17

255/35/20 fit the lowered GTP nearly perfectly. The rear tires grazed the fender on bumps, but was corrected by shaving a few mm off the tops of the fender rolls.

The only thing I can think of, is that the people running 35 series 20's have replaced the front bumper with the V series unit which must offer the extra clearence needed.
