Yes, I do a lot of freeway driving, so why shouldn't I care about aerodynamics? The design of my body kit should reduce drag compared to stock. It also should reduce lift, which matters if you drive your car on a race track, which I've done. It also matters if driving at freeway speeds in rain etc.

They won't. Not without work.
The G8 is 5x120, you could redrill them, but that might be too much. Another option is billet adapters, but then you might need to have the bad pads on the G8 wheels machined to sit correctly on the adapters. Either way, 19"s on a GAGT are iffy, but the design may pull it off. You really need to be lowered though. Plus, you'd need at least a 235/35 R19 to sit right on those wheels.

wut? i'm pretty new to the wheels, offsets, tire sizes, lowered, stance world.my plan was to spend 45$ on a bolt pattern adapter and see if the fronts had a hope in hell of not rubbing. but since you said they won't work, and u know more than me, i'll take your word for it. what do you mean by the pads on the g8 wheel?

Back pads on the wheel: where the wheel mounts to the hub.
They could work, but the billet adapters may push them out too far. Even then, the offset for them isn't that aggressive. They could work, just plan it out, measure and test fit before getting tires.

As for teh mileage...that's lousy. Around what my old GAGT would do. Mine's at 80 miles on my tank of fuel and it's two ticks under full.

Remember, the "top half of the tank" is bigger, once you get to half, it'll drop of quicker. You're not bad for it

Well yes, opening it up sucks more gas boss!!!
The further down that loud pedal goes, the more air you're letting in, the more air you let in, the more fuel you need to mix with it to keep 'er running!

I assume you have a BIGGER gas tank sir. I doubt you can do better than 22miles/gallon (city miles)
