    Winter Wheels and Tires

    Yes the 255/35/18 square Blizzaks fit stock wheels no rubbing, no issues whatsoever. Go to TireRack website for ordering. Not sure if they still have them in stock; I ordered back in September. If needed, contact Taggart at TireRack, awesome guy, super knowledgeable. He can help you. If you...

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    Yes it was $30 each wheel/tire. I ended up having them swap my OEM Caddy whees/tires onto my Forged One Competition wheels/ snow tires. Long story short bought the forged wheels and snow tires and liked the wheels so much I choose to keep them for summer and the Caddy wheels for winter. Total...

    Tapout CT4-V Blackwing Carbon Fiber Intake Test Results

    So...I don't need this but now I'm interested. Looks like straight forward install, reversible, and no tuning required? I'm down to get one of these when available next year. How do I get on the waitlist for this? Also, any videos to hear what it wounds like with an otherwise stock vehicle...

    considering CT4-BW as a daily? a few questions

    So for everyday driving I run "My Mode" which is pretty much everything in comfort/touring mode but the loudest exhaust settings. This is for dry, cold road conditions. When it's actually snowed (only a few times so far) or been icy, I have used the snow/ice settings and it has worked well...

    Aftermarket wheels

    Any idea of how they come up with widths/offsets? I had my car scanned at TireRack to confirm fitment; just wondering how they do it since nothing is listed on their website for CT4/5 Blackwings.

    considering CT4-BW as a daily? a few questions

    I'll chime in. I live in Michigan, have a CT4V BW. Daily driven through all four seasons. I've driving multiple BMW M3's in Michigan winters without any issues. The Caddy has held up well this season already, with snow tires mind you, and would not hessitate to drive one in the winter. Back...

    Signature Wheel Blackwing Group Buy

    Anything available for the CT4 BW? Cost for CT4? Curious as I may be interested.

    Ridiculous Ideas Thread

    Am I the only one here that would be very content with a non supercharged version of the V8 from the CT5 BW and put in the CT4BW? To me that would be near perfect and reminiscent of the original CTS-V cars.

    Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

    I believe the +45mm offset would poke 5mm less curb side. Try this website to visualize it easier. I don't think anyone on the forums has had aftermarket wheels for long enough to know all the combinations that will/will not work; we're all new to this! https://www.willtheyfit.com/

    Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

    Doing a little of research, you could fun a 265/30/19 on that 19x9 +21 wheel; it'll given you 7mm more clearance inside the fender, and poke out 7mm more curb side. This is doable, my current wheels poke out 8mm front with no clearance issues. Regarding the rear 285/30/19 on a 19x10+40 wheel...

    Dealer F up. What would you do?

    Good point!, why keep going if one is already damaged.

    Dealer F up. What would you do?

    If you can post some pictures that would be great. Regarding repair/replacement, if light scratches then yes painting/powder coating may be reasonable. But if significant damage I would hold the dealership accountable for replacement parts as it happened on their time/location, not that you...

    Brake Pad Stick / Seize

    I'm in Michigan as well. This happened to me the other day after the first snow and the car sat in the garage overnight. I reversed and it felt like the parking brake was on (it wasn't). Took 2000+ rpm to break it free in reverse. Never had this happened before on any car I've had.

    Forged One FF05’s

    Purchased these same wheels from TIre Rack a while back, mounted with the OEM tires. I think they look great and should be easy to clean.

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    Regarding number 3, I had same issue in that my local Discount Tire wouldn’t mount a square tire set up on stock wheels for me. I ended up calling Tire Rack Mobile Installation and they came to my house and did the tire swap in my driveway! It was awesome and well worth the price, $30 to...

    Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

    Yes I can confirm the FF05 wheels clear all brake calipers easily. I am running the original spec summer tires that are 255 front and 275 rear on these FF05 wheels. I have absolutely no rubbing issues front or rear. I’ve been driving on these wheels and tires set up for about 300 miles without...

    What "don't" you like about your BW"?

    6 months and I still hate the location of the electronic parking brake. Wish it was next to the shifter, like logic would dictate. Also wish it started up in the last mode being driven...aka Touring, Sport, Track, etc.
