Default Wheel Size

What are most of you guys sporting? I used to be in to import tuning. And it's not good to put anything larger than a 17. Does it really matter w/ a GT?? Do you notice any difference turning 18 inches as opposed to 17?

I think that depends. If your going from 17" Bullits to 18" Bullits it might not be that noticable. If your going from 17" Bullits to 18" Saleens the change can be very dramatic. That least it was for me. I prefer 18's on a 99-04 I think they look great.

height difference wont have any big problems unless its your speedo, which is easily cured. Width though tends to be more desirable, anywhere from 9.5"-10.5" out back and 8.5"-9.5" up front...which you will notice a strange increase in traction...with the right tires
