Not sure what the offset is on mine...
I personally do not like the flat look. For some reason (i know its strange), when I park next to a GT500 at a car show or something, his wheels look smaller to me for some strange reason (they're the exact same size). They just dont have the appeal unless they're chrome.
I bought mine used from a local car club member for $400 bucks for all four plus the lugs. Plus the Nitto 555's which totaled about $800 more from Discount Tire (who btw, were amazing with shipping). Same size tires as the GT500 too.... 255x45 in the front and 285x40 in the rear.

That would be the minimun i would run.....285/40 looks best on them or more but you can do 255-285 all the way around, keeping the diameter around 27"

they were at discounttiredirect, where you get 200 off if you buy a rim/tire package

however as soon as I actually got the money to buy them, I returned to the site and the deal is off, so now its 1084 with tires, which I'm just not going to pay

1084 is pretty damn good.....I paid about 1500 for the rims and tires....you have to actually pay more money for better stuff...AM wants 1,483.96 for tires and the rims......Discount tire will match the americanmuslce price for the rims if you tell them you can get them for 180, i had Discount Tire match the AM price of 142 when i got mine

Not a big fan of those wheels for some reason.
