Just recently bought a 05' GT. I was thinking of getting 18" deep dish bullitts rims and a set of eibach pro springs to improve the performance and the look. Now I'm not sure to sure on a few different things and I was hoping someone might be able to help me with a few questions.
1) Will the rims, tires, and springs void the warranty?
2) Will they affect the speedometer reading? And/or the computer? Or anything else?
3) What size of tires should I use? Any rubbing on the wheelwells?
4) Anyone with the same setup; what are your likes or dislikes?
Please, anyone with advice or help will be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

1) wil void only those warranties you are replacing which will happen with whatevr you replace.
2) can slightly effect the speedometer but usuually only 1-2 MPH-compuer should adjust on its own.
3)i run 20' with 255/35/20 they are sweet. check som other threads on this site for 18's

Hi Chrome_pony,
and welcome to the forum,
just today I put on 20's with 255/35/20 in front and 275/35/20 in rear
and ALSO the Eibach springs and I can ONLY recommend the springs,
makes a HUGE difference .........i love it !

I have NOT noticed any difference in spedometer changes, the tire shop
that put the wheels and springs on did a great wheel alignment so
everything's like it's supposed to be.

Hope this info helps !

Thanks guys for your help, but I don't have quite enough funds to buy 20's and I sort of got my mind set on the 18's and springs. Good news is the forum has helped me alot me - thanks to all the posters!! I've decided on getting toyo proxies 255/45/18 on front and 285/40/18 on rear.... now what size rim width would be best suited to fill wheelwell, without having tire stick out? 8.5" front and 9.5" rear sound good? Or is there a better wheel and rim size best suited for 18's? THANKS AGAIN TO ALL!!

Hey Dusti, how do those 20's ride. Is is hard with those 35's? Do the springs help the ride at all. I wanted to put 20's on my gt, but I live in NY and I'm scared of the potholes.

FYI- The ride is better with the eibach kit and 20's then when I had it stock! I think you will like the upgrade.
