Default Wheel fitment question

Will the 94-04 saleen wheels fit my 2009 GT? 18x9 in the front with 24mm offset. 18x10 in the rear with 22mm offset

This just came up over the last couple days, so check threads just this morning.

I would not install a set of '99~'04 9" & 10" wheels on an S197. The off-set is incorrect and is likely to rub on both front and rear, sorry

They will fit but they will stick out more. I know at least a couple people in the s197 section are running 99-04 Saleen wheels.

^ Can you tell me what size tires (width and profile) are they running on them?

This would be good to know for future reference.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it is 255/45/18 front and 295/45/18 in the back, but I am not positive on this. I'll try to find the person and report back.

Edit: Heres a whole thread on it, and the first car is lowered with sportlines:

MikeysGT on pg 3 is the car I was thinking when I got the tire sizes.

Thanks for links

I figured they would have rubbing issues and just might in some cases. Personally, I think the off-set is a little too far. My wheels are just a bit short of that and is max I like to see.

To each his/her own

No problem, and I tend to agree with you, my wheels are the correct offset and I think they look great. IMO the 99-04 offset will just let more rocks get kicked up on to the paint. Btw, your Saleen is very nice!!
