I got the tires all finished up and mounted from Discount tire. They came out looking pretty decent on the stock 18 inch wheels. I can't wait to see how these wheels will do at the drag strip!
I also got the Pfadt trailing arms installed on the G8 tonight. I'm going to save the toe rods for a different night.

Trailing Arm removed:
The toughest part of the install was removing the OEM bushings in the rear knuckle that connect the lower part of the trailing arm.
Pfadt recommends using their custom bushing removal kit that is $30 dollars, but I ended up renting a ball joint press for O'reileys and it worked great to remove the bushings.
