Personally I wouldn't go bigger than 18". And if you don't need the clearance for massive breakes, stay at 17".

Jazzer, I went with your advice and ordered from AM today a set of 9's/10's for my model year. Thank you and thanks to all those who helped out.

The OEM bolts will stick past the spacer and hit the wheel if there is not a space to accomodate them.

I recommend you stick with a set of 9"s & 10"s of your model year to fit them properly.

Nuts... your car looks GREAT

You are more than welcome and happy to help!

PS. I could only see like the top-half of the pics for some weird reason. Maybe some setting or something, but half the space that "should" be reserved for the picture, had just a black space and nothing else

It was like that when i tried to look at his pics too.. but if u click on enlarge to the right hand side it will show the whole pic clearly. his car does look nice with those wheels. just needs to be lowered and she'll be one fine machine!!

Must have been something wrong with the photo section yesterday because I noticed the same thing. However, today it appears fixed and the photos are correct. Check it again to see if I'm right.


The suggestion to lower has been made by a friend of mine with a GT500 as well. Have to wait a little bit for that. I think I will replace the taillights next with the smoked option.

I'd be cautious of 9. 5 on the front.
