That is just crazy. You probably have the best wheel fitment for the GA on the site. Havent seen anyone pushing it that close yet.

Are those 18? If so, what size tire?

You and mac both live under rocks. It's a 18x9 wheel with a 245/40/18 tire

99ga · 07-09-2014, 11:31 AM

why a 245 on a 9" ?? i had 245 on my 8", and put 275 on my 9"

does it have anything to do with 18" rim versus a 20"?

I'm really sure you would be rubbing the fk out of fender with a 275 on a GA, the 245/40 barely even fits on a GA with a 18x9.

Man, I dont write all this stuff down when people do things to there cars

The wheel/tire specs have been said multiple times throughout the year.

tipnitty · 07-09-2014, 02:50 PM

Well soon there will 10 red cars with the same wheel tire setup, so no need for those questions

TDavis · 07-09-2014, 03:02 PM

IF I where to get those wheels I would probably get them in silver. Or maybe even chrome, as much as I hate chrome these wheels wouldn't look bad in chrome.

There are apparently gunmetal and white versions too.

don't worry i'll be rocking stock wheels until I sell the thing. no need to throw any more money away on a 15 year old car pushing 150k miles

sleepyalero · 07-09-2014, 03:35 PM

Metal - 150k is nothing. Ive got 207

Tanner - shows you how much I pay attention.

AaronGTR · 07-09-2014, 06:08 PM

I know I've mentioned it before, but a 255/35-18 would be a better fit on a 9" wide wheel. And closer to the stock diameter too, so it shouldn't rub.

I have the 255/35-18 on the same wheels. I just don't have my car lowered.

Also saw some for black chrome which would look excellent IMO.

Yes! And that looks pretty much perfect right there. Tires are nice and square to the wheel... just enough tire sticking out past the rim to protect the face of the rim. And even if you were lowered it still wouldn't be as close to the fenders and would be less likely to have problems rubbing, because a 245/40-18 is 0.7" taller in diameter so it fills in the wheel well more and is closer to the fenders.

TDavis · 07-10-2014, 05:42 PM

I know I'll be going with 255/35/18 for my Michelin tires when/if I change tires

I did end up with this size of tire thanks to your suggestion. Thank you Aaron.
