      Big Tymer, $$__bling_bling__$$, thegunit.com, tell me this is a joke lol.

      And yeah, expect a loss of ride quality and traction.

              i can still put 245's on that rim... it will just bow out a tad.... the stock tire width for our cars is 215 and thats on a 8 inch wide rim..... 235's should be flush... so i will actually gain a bit of traction vs stock tires.....

                FYI - The bolt pattern is wrong.
                5X120 is a metric bolt pattern, for european and other import cars.
                GM uses 5X4.75" which converted is 5X120.65

                There is a 0.65mm difference, which is not much, but those wheels WILL not ride right (smooth) without hub centering rings.

                      They are a plastic or aluminum ring that adapts the universal bore of the aftermarket wheel to the hub size of your car. Thus the wheel sits on the hub perfectly centered instead of relying on the lug nuts, which won't line up exactly right.

                      If you live near a discount tire, they can get you the right stuff.

                      EDIT - I see your in texas, it is nearly impossible not to live near a discount tire in texas.

                          Nice wheels btw, pretty good looking for chrome. Not overdone.
                          You will lose a little a ride, but you will GAIN traction if you use a good tire.
