I found a deal that was too good to pass up and they are a set of rims/tires. The rears measure out to be 18x10 with Nitto NT555 285/40/18 and for the front, 18x9 with the same tires but 275/40/18. I drive a 96 GT and I'm going from stock wheels to these rims and I was just wondering if these would fit fine for my car. Also, the rears come with a 1/4 spacer and I was curious to know if I would have to get long lugs or switch anything out for these wheels to fit after I place the spacer on. Thanks guys.

Are the wheels off an SN95 ? If so then they should fit no problems. If theyre off a S197 your going to need a spacer. You shouldnt really need that 1/4 spacer. If the rears are 18x10 then they should fill up that fender well nicely.

I'm not sure what they're off of. They are the GT4 rims, which look close to the FR500 wheels. So I should be good either way, with or without the spacer?

thanks man. They're off an 05 actually, but I'm pretty sure the guy that I'm buying had them on a 95 gt.
