So my friend is ordering some GT500 replicas for her 07, and theyre 18x9.5 with a +24 offset. If she runs a 255/45 tire on that, is it going to stick out at all? I found some old threads, but didnt really have the info I was looking for. Anyone running this size or have pics? Thanks!

 

I'm running 255/40s up front, and 285/40s out back. Mine are a different offset though. I believe the + 24 offset are for 99-04 cars. Cruizin Concepts has a chart listing the different offsets. Not sure if that helps.

 

I am running 18x9.5 with 255/45s all around but I have a +45 offset. My wheels are even with the fenders and I guess a benefit of the +45 offset is that they are also deep dish. I don't know if this helps but my wheels could have been ordered in +30 or +45 offsets and the sales guy told me that if I went with the +30, the wheels would not be deep dish at all. So, I don't think the +24 offset is going to stick out at all.

 

Ok yeah it shouldnt be a problem then. I know what he means. If you wouldve gotten a +24 offset, it just moves the mounting surface of your wheel, but where the actual lip is, it stays in the same spot. These particular wheels dont have a lip anyways, so Im sure it will look good.

 

Yeah and being that it is a 9.5" wheel, it will fill up the wheel well nicely. Is she going for a wider tire out back?

 

nah...shes just gonna run 255/45 front and rear. that way she can rotate them when necesary.

 

Rob just so you know the ones I have are +34mm... hopefully this helps you get an idea.

BTW I've heard issues between v6s and GTs due to the different sized front rotors... The AM rims I have don't look like they would have worked with v6 rotors (caliper clearance)

 

That's my reason too.

 

well were going to test fit them to make sure first before mounting the tires. hopefully they clear. haha

 

+1
test fit the rims for proper clearances BEFORE mounting tires on the rims
