new wheels
Help I cant decide what size wheels to put on my o5 gt. I am having a Hellion turbo installed next week and because of the way the pipes run they might scrap if I lower the car. I need some traction out back. Im afraid if I go with 18 or 19inch wheels I will have too much gap between the tire and the wheel wells. I know I cant be the only one who has been through this. What are people using that dont lower the car?

RE: new wheels
With the 18" and 19" you will have less fender gap, that is, if you purchase the same or larger diameter tire.
Remember, the larger circumfrence tire/rim combo you buy, the less torque you will put to the ground..Well, I used the wrong words...You are screwing with gearing..
I'd stick with either 17" or 18"

RE: new wheels
Keep the same tire diameter and going to a larger wheel should be fine, you won't change your gearing.
So keep it to 27" and you can put 18, 19, or 20 on.
I would choose an 18 inch wheel as there are some many tires you can choose from and they are generally cheaper depending on how wide of a tire you put on.
With the turbo, you need a 285 wide at least, perferably a 305 but they may require some rear end fine tuning.
