case ace

Hi guys,

Since I am convinced that to go to wider tires in the rear I should get wider wheels, I want to know if I can buy 18 x 10's to match my existing 18x8.5's, so I don't have to buy 4 new wheels. I have the '07 GT polished aluminum 5-spoke wheel - as shown.

thanks

Been down that road brother. Short answer is "no". You can buy some that look close but no 'stock' 18x10 polished bullitts I'm afraid.

Yeah:I bought the 18 x 10 Deep Dish Bullit chrome for the rearfrom American Muscle hoping it would be a pretty close match. The rims look really good, but it is not a match in any manner. There is a big difference in the shine of a polished rim and a chrome rim. The spokes are not identical either. Eventullay I will buy the front in a 18x9. But the goal was to stop spinning the tires and with 305 Nitto drag radialsI have achevied that to some degree.

I did the same thing I bought 2 18x10 chrome dd bullitts and they are close but not exact. I looked everywhere on the web for the best match. The best I found are at BRS wheels. Everyone says you have to look close to notice. Man I had to go to a bigger wheel cause I want some serious meat outback. I got the 04 offset it looks like I have spacers on the bag because it has a wider stance and I have a lot of room for wide rubber. Like reeflover said Ill get the 18x9's later.

I put 18 x8 Foose Nitrous on the front and 18 x 10 out back w/supposedly the correct offset and the 285 still stick out a little. I cant imagine what 315s would look like.

Here is what my car looks like with 18x10 on the back with the nitto drag radials

I guess that picture didn't upload the greatest. I will try to get a better one.

How about taking a picture ofthe rear of the car so everyone can get an idea of how wide a foot print the tires put down, It's kind of hard to get that perspective viewing it from the side of the car

I finally got some good pic's.
