Trying to figure out what is the biggest wheels that will fit with gt flares... anyone have some advice? I found some decently priced generic steal wheels from diamond wheels that are 16X8(-12 offset). Can they be made to fit?

^ His offset should be (no mention of spacers used) F = 23.3mm R = 15mm] I like http://www.willtheyfit.com/ for playing with offsets. |

Thanks for info... Would converting to 5-lug be worth it doing now before I order wheels? Is the only advantage that there is better wheel selection to choose from? |

Better brakes with 5 lug if you swap over to 911 front suspension. /4 front are solid rotor 911 front is vented and there are kits to put larger and lighter calipers. Besides being cheap why the Circle track heavy steel rims? Define "worth it" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It's only money. |

I plan to upgrade again later on. I also feel as though I can beat on the steel wheels, and don't have to worry about them. They won't be pretty but they will be functional. |
