RE: Tire help!!
Those wheels are 8" wide, and that"s what really determines what tires are appropriate. Offset is for determining if the whole business will fit your car.
235/50 (OE 18" GT size)
245/45 (about 1/4" shorter than OE, not enough to worry about)
255/45 (OE GT500 front tire size)
In all cases, these wheels should let the tires ride a little less harshly than the OE 235/50 tires on the OE 8.5" wide rims. Flip side is that you can expect cornering response to be a little "softer" than if those wheels were 8.5" or wider.
