Hmm...I swear I thought I saw a 5spoke G once and the wheels said 215/55/17. That's a sport size? for 03/04?

Yep. that is the size.

Then what's the non sport sizes for 03/04? For 05 models, 215/55/17 are the non-sports.

I think when they first came out the non sport was 16" and then in 2004 the non sport was a 6-spoke 7.0 x 17-inch alloy wheel.

I have the 2003 leather model with sunroof, non-premium, non-sport. It came with 215 55 R17s on six spoke wheels. I have since upgraded to the sport-tuned suspension, 235 50 ZR17 tires and Stillen sway bars. She handles great! The 6spoke wheels are actually the lightest wheels on a G.
