Possible wheel change. Looking for info.

[98expo]

I am looking to change my wheel setup on my '08 GT500. I have searched some and have not found a ton of answers. I have seen links to the Offset calculator, but still have some questions.

I am currently running '10 GT500 Reps. F:18x9 +30 & R:18x10 +45.

I have found some wheels but they only offer in these sizes:

Style A
18”
18x8.5 +35mm (18x9 +30mm)
18x8.5 +20mm

18x9.5 +35mm
18x11 +20mm (18x10 +45mm)

19”
19x8.5 +35mm
19x8.5 +20mm

19x10 +35mm
19x10 +15mm

Style B
18x8.5 +35mm
18x8.5 +25mm

18x10 +25mm

From what I have seen the rears look to be an issue. Would everyone agree? I am lowered on Pro-kit, BBR LCA, and pan-hard bar.

Thank you for any help!

I'm running a 315 in the rear and find that an offset of 58-63mm puts the tire where it needs to be for internal and external wheel well clearance with the bump stop removed. I think if you go with less offset than the stock wheel, you're going to have issues with the outer fender well. Much is going to depend on what tire width you run. Less offset is going to move the wheel outboard. More offset is going to move the wheel inboard. Widening your stock wheel will result in more offset.

Thank you for the reply! I am having a hard time finding wheels that will fit and dont come with a huge price tag.

I am open to some different wheel manufacturers. You know besides the common ones, CCW. TF, Shelby, and the drag setups.
