Thanks, How do you think it would look with these? There 18x9. If they'd stick out too far id definatly not want to do it. It will probably be on a black or white GT.

Nice wheels, but unfortunately I don't know, I think they would look great if they don't stick out. But, I have no idea what the backspacing is on the new car....

I have been wondering what the specs are on those fanblades on the titanium show car. I don't like the wheels, but I like the way they fit.

The 99-04 wheels WONT fit the o5, simply because the 05 has a bigger rotor,,,,
however if you have something like I had on my last 02 ( Custom with 18") , then its easy to just install it on 05... basically as long as you have enough room for the rotor you should be fine

The backspacing on the 2005 motorsport wheels is 5.295. The older wheels have a backspacing of 5.72. I think the 9" wheels with the 6.12 backspacing may still work if they clear inside. Most of the inch difference will be to the inside.

Got the new catalog today.
Nice to be in the parts dept. of a dealership!
