joe, do the alcoa's feel any different then your previous 20s? i was wondering cause the my main selling point was that they were forged and significantly lighter then most other 20s.

They spin on the rears easier and have a bit lighter feel in the steering. Plus they balanced real well.

I am going to get a set of these also. My question is, will the 305's fit with the back spacing of the rear wheel?

as long as you have not done any suspension modifications to your car, you can put as wide of a tire that the rim will allow on it...but if you've lowered it or will be lowering in the future, you really need to pay close attention. with all the research that I've done in the last few weeks, the best size tire to install on a lowered vehicle with a 20x10 (37mm offset) super snake wheel is a 275/35 (or as nmd55 has, a 285/30/20, which is about the same).

I have a bmr lowering kit with the relocation brackets and lca's. Thats my only susp mod and its a small drop compared to the eibachs ive seen. Anyway, I appreciate the feed back. Mike from cruzin concepts said that a 305 would fit on a lowered gt, just not a lowered gt500. not sure what the diffrence would be. He does sell a package with these wheels and 295/30/20 toyo's and there section width is 12 inchs. I was wanting the 305 nitto drag radial for the rear on these wheels.

That's rich! A 60 or 70 series tire has some awesome sidewall height! a 35 series on ANY rim is practically a friggin' rubber band on a wagon wheel in comparison!

Kids. They'll say just about ANYTHING...

And MELLOWYELLOW, those wheels look totally awesome!

Wheels look awesome, wish I could find a set for a decent price, they are expensive.

I was down there in Fort Wayne and he had a sets of the newest Shelby GT500 rims. They were the ones with different sizes front and rear and huge.

Mine is a V6 so it would be overkill but they are nice wheels

Tell him Tom From Detroit told ya to call

I bet he will snap you a picture of them if they are not up on his website yet

Where can I find these rims?
