Default Will 35mm offset wheels work on my 06 GT?

I found a set of wheels I really like and I want to make sure they will fit my car. What is the factory offset for these cars? Will a wheel with a 35mm offset work? They are 18" wheels with 255/45/18s if it matters. I have the stock brakes, also.

They should....

To give you an idea, I run 17x9 +35 rims for when I track (see sig.). Plenty of clearance - I bet I could fit the gt500 brakes in the front if i ever decided to go that route!

my only issue was rubbing - being that I have a v6 premium my steering stops are a little further out than your gt, so under hard turning my front passenger tire rubbed. doubt you'd have that issue though.

My car is lowered 1.5 inches but I doubt that would make a difference. I just don't want to have to use spacers like I did with my Mercedes. What is the factory wheel offset for the GT?

Most of the stock wheels have offsets of about 45-50mm. PM me with your email and I'll send you a spreadsheet that'll graphically show you the difference between your stock and other wheel/tire combos. I don't recall if the diff in offset moves the tire in or out of the well. Brain fart...

I noticed that some of the Bullitt wheels on AM for our cars just have a 34mm offset so I'm thinking they may be ok. These are the deepdish models I think.
