Base 04-07 CTS and the 08+ CTS cars are 5 lug.

I'd be happy with just a 17" or 18" steel rim 8" wide that would bolt on and clear the brakes to use as a spare. What us first generation CTS-V guys have to do is buy a factory stock 18" wheel to try to fit in the trunk as a spare since factory tires were runflats and a spare tire was never made or provided.
Very good information to have...

I'm sure the stock calipers would clear the spokes on our wheels, but the wheel barrel may interfere with the outside of the caliper - need to do a test fitting to make sure.

What are the BS requirements for the CTS-V? Also how big of a wheel can it fit width wise?
