Currently own a sport coupe with the stock 19's. Wondering if tire decals would look good on stockies or not. Couldn't find any pics of our cars with tire stickers and stock rims, most cars with tire stickers are lowered with after market wheels. This is the only pic I could find of our car with tire stickers.
Here's my G, obviously if I got tire stickers they would be yellow lettering
Normally, the lettering is built into the tire, they're not "stickers". Used to be, you got white unless you were racing roundy-round in which case you would see yellow or white lettering. Who knows what crazy colors you can get these days. For awhile, there were colored tires available: red, yellow and blue. I have no idea if the coloring messed with mileage or stickiness.
Don't be fooled by looking at a widebody lowered and heavily modified G thinking tire paint will look remotely similar on your stock G. The average person will probably think you bought clearance rack tires, lol. All of us that realize they were just painted will think it's rice. It's a lose, lose.
OP, I used to have tires kind of like you describe. Only there were not solid, they were OWL (outline white letters). However this was on a lowered Dodge Ram Quad Cab pickup truck in 1999 when that was cool.
I have a F150 now. It has OWL tires. But they're mounted so that they're on the inner side of the wheel so you can't see them. As it should be.
You young guns have crazy ideas. Back in the day, you knew a car was hot when it had solid or outline raised letters. My 1972 Cutlass looked smashing with OWL on color-matching Rallye wheels.

One of my first cars was a '77 grand Prix that looked a lot like this one. Tires and all.
It also looked badass on these Cragar S/S mag wheels.
I wouldn't put the wheels or the tires on my G though. Because 2016.
Personally I always frowned upon the thought of tire stickers. I have found recently though that some vehicles can pull it off and others completely cannot.
It looks good on heavily modded cars, like Ryne said. I wouldn't even attempted it unless you had an LB kit or an aggressive stance.
