Default 05 rims on an 03???

Will 05 GT rims fit on an 03 and look good? I know the offset is different, bolt pattern is the same and tires size is one size lower and one size wider... anyone have any info? Thanks!

the 05 has a more narrow tire, and they are taller, i think thats what you meant. but they will look like ****, plus they already look like crap on the new ones(however, they are better than the other 05 wheels)

I think the offset is different too. They would sit way inside the fender lip.

They'll fit, but its going to be tucked WAY inside those fenders.

I would think a spacer would be required to get them to fit.

Edit:

Those rims in the pics look like factory wheels. I wouldnt be suprised if an 8" would fit, but I HIGHLY doubt a 9"+ could fit without problems.

How han you guys say these wheels look bad. I think they look great. I like these chrome ones and the are made for 94 to 04. 17X9.

Edit: You guys were not talking about these. Yeah I don't like the GT wheels but I love the V6 ones.
