Just wondering if 18x9.5in +15mm offset rims would fit up front on my '99 GT. Ive heard people say that 9 is the max. Im wanting to run 275s maybe 285s for the rear with the same rim not sure yet.

Someone? Anyone? Ive found the perfect rims but they only come in 9.5 and 8.5 and im not doing the 8.5s cause they having a 33mm offset and will sit too far in in the rear and I want to do the same size in all four corners just want to know if a 9.5in rims with 15mm offset on a 275 will fit on the front without rubbing.

I run 9.5 in the fronts with 255/35r/19. Only thing is at full bank, the rim rubs the sway bar but it's no big deal as you barely back off and it's gone

To be completely honest I wouldn't be able to tell you as I bought the car with the rims... How would I find the offset as I don't believe it's engraved on the wheel

Take a ruler or a level or just something straight and with the wheel off lay it down across the backside of the rim and measure to the hub. Your wheels are 9.5in so if you measured 4.25in to the hub then that would be 0mm offset dead center, 3.75in to the hub would be -12mm or so, and 4.75 to the hub would be +12mm or so bada bing bada boom
