It may work, but you just have to watch the offset and the brakes to make sure everything clears. Keep in mine that your corning won't be as good as the stock 17s though.

It may on a v6, If you have a gt it will not fit on the front!

They look a lot like Cragars... Cool.

If they DO fit, be sure to put a set of RWL's on them. It's a shame the tires on our 17" and 18" wheels don't lend themselves to sidewalls big enough to make lettering look good.

hey I don't think they would fit on a gt I may be wrong but the sway bars need to be relocated dont take my word as gospel . here is a link to a thread I started a while back .more as a theory and info escapade . there are some pics of 15s on the rear of a s197 though (and the front may be 15s too)not sure about the front ,but the fact that they are skinny front runners may have something to do with them clearing the larger front brakes

Rim downsize theory thread link..
