Default 2005 GT Wheels?

My girlfriend's dad has a friend who is trying to sell me a set of 05 GT wheels/tires. I haven't seen them yet, the girlfriend's dad has but he couldn't describe them very well. He says that they are stock on 05 GT's. Did they come with anything except the bullitts? Would they even fit on my 02?

Yeah they came with bullitts or fanblade wheels... I think there was another option but I'm not sure.

Don't think they'll fit, might collide with your calipers, but the best way to know is to try it before you do. If I'm not mistaken the 05+ have LESS backspacing than ours do, so older wheels on the 05+'s just stick out a lot, and if that's the case, then they would go in too far for ours and hit the brake equipment.

Ok...I wasn't really convinced I wanted them anyway. That $ could definitely be used elsewhere.

Just use spacers to get the clearance you need.

They'll fit. I had them on my 04 until I switched today to Black Bullits. Had them on for over a year with no problems. The one's I had are in the pic in my sig.
