Well I got a 2012 Heron White With The 6.0 From the Charlotte NC Police Department 9-18-21
This is what I have got done so far.
- Welded up the Roof holes
- Most of the G8 console Swap completed
- 3d printed center window switch button plate. installed sport/ Trac switches (more fun buttons to come)
- G8 A pillars
- G8 upper and lower B pillars
- Replaced Headliner with Black foam padded material
- Removed A pillar Spot light and fabbed a block off plate for now.
- Installed Black Range Rover 20x8.5s wrapped in 245/40 R20s (Square set up)
- Had the bad Radiator cap causing collapsed hoses. Then after a good cap held pressure blew a heater hose. Need to get the hose relocations done.
- Replaced the hood release cable
- Worked some front grill/ hood dents (PDR)
Soon to come
- Create Custom Bimodal Exhaust (bypass rear mufflers on demand)
- Wire up the G8 tapshift?
- find my ABS intermittent fault issue.
- installing an impressive Alpine Holden VE S2 Head unit Kit. https://www.alpine.com.au/shop/perfect- ... ina-omega/
A little further out
- Gloss black Roof
- full Dod with some monster cam
- Camaro/G8 Manual Swap
- Camaro diff
- full exhaust headers back
- If I can find a LSA for a great price that will go on there.

This is what I pulled together to help make my decision on those wheels.
Could have gone possibly gone with the 255 width.
Here are some pics specific to wheel fitment. ( ignore my terribly painted repaired bumper)
Couple of notes on these wheels.. you would need Hub rings. and additionally you will need the Mag Style lug nuts

Those actually look pretty good, probably the only set on a caprice.
