18x9 Gt500 Wheel

hsean · Jul 22, 2014

i love these wheels and i am leaning on buying them i know it probably has been covered but before i spend money on wheels and tires i want to be absolutely sure i won't have any rubbing issues.my question without rolling fenders and best look what tire size look best and won't give me a headache.i really want to stay away from rack limiters in the front too.i have the eibach pro kit btw

I have those wheels s in a 17 x 9 and they rub a touch when hard turns are made but my car is lowered as well.

its a 90 coupe , 245/45/zr 17 i think.

I'm running 275's on the back of mine. Definitely need to roll the fenders for that. My car is lowered as well and rubs on turns. When I adjust my shocks for road course, they don't. I like them, haven't seen one locally with the same wheels!

http://www.americanmuscle.com/black-2010-gt500-wheels-9498.html these are the ones i am looking at

85rkyboby · Jul 25, 2014

Ah, my fault.

85rkyboby · Jul 25, 2014

The ones you're interested in have about a half inch more backspacing but an added inch of wheel compared to our gt500 (07).

I think I am going to stick with my 17x8 OEM 99 cobras for now. The 245/45/17 tires on there now look like crap out back. Definately need a wider tire for the rear. What's a good tire size for the rear?

85rkyboby · Jul 26, 2014

Street tires or DR's? I prefer the 275's. People on the internet say you can fit 275 on an 8 inch wheel, I personally can't tell you if it will fit or not. I think backspacing plays a bigger roll as to if it will fit properly.

Are you running that on a 8" wide wheel?

stykthyn · Jul 26, 2014

No. Not really.

stykthyn · Jul 26, 2014

I mean it's eight inches at one point.

Haha got a picture or a few details on the setup?

stykthyn · Jul 26, 2014

Lol. It's a 10.5 inch wheel. The 8 mark is in there somewhere.

85rkyboby · Jul 27, 2014

I understood what you were saying lol.
