would these fit a v6 s197?

they look so darn nice!

 

I cant see why not but you have to have the right offset...contact tirerack.com or discount tire etc

 

i still don't fully understand this offset business.
i've been also looking at some 99-04 wheels, i'm assumign different offset as well

 

Wheels offset is measured from the center line of the wheel either positive or negative where the hub of the wheel meets the axle mounting surface. Our wheels have positive offset. Basically if the overall width is 9" for instance, zero offset is dead center (4.5"). Our wheels stock offset are 50mm I believe. Offset is very important for both clearance and overall looks. Hope this helps you out. See attached "stick" demonstration

 

Thanks for that great explanation, roadracer, I always assumed the math sort of worked that way but I never really knew the specifics. So yes, antipeterleauge, 99-04 wheels stick out a little from the wheel well. I know there's at least one thread full of pics of 99-04 wheels on S197's

 

Theyll fit. Your V6 has alot more clearance than a Shelby for clearing bigger brakes. So dont worry.

 

Joe's right.

 

 

Are you talking about these?

If so, I would be surprised if you could buy them new... even the Bullitt wheels require that you have a car with the Bullitt VIN.

 

I thought the factory offset for the 05-09 s197 was 24mm.

You should have no problem, the body change was exactly that, a body change, no major dissernable unibody or subframe change. So the offset should be similar if not the same.
