will these mustang saleen wheels fit on my 99 gtp?

18x9
offset: 24
bolt pattern: 5x114.3

tire section width: 265
aspect ratio:35

i was gonna get lowering springs from zzp to lower it 1.2 in
 


without rolling/pulling your fenders, they'll stick out. 265s are also a pretty wide tire when it comes to rubbing suspension/fenders, but they are on nine inch wheels. i'd recommend finding similar five-spokes with a higher offset.

with some time and patience, you can get them to look great on your car with those springs.
 


theyre gonna rub without fender work, especially with you trying to run those 265s. i would get a smaller tire to be honest.
 
they will stick out. they will rub. get a higher offset (30-36) and a smaller tire (255/45 or 245/45).
 
They will rub if you lower, but it wont be the tires. It will be because of the low offset.
265/32 is way smaller then stock. So you might be ok, but your going to have some fender gap most likley.

and 265s are great for those rims. 245s work, but there just too narrow IMO.

sorry, this isnt the ricer forum.

The only way a stretched tire looks good on these is on bags..Can get away with that **** on lowering springs like other cars.
These are grand prixs, not evo and subbies... haha
 
no one said it couldnt be applied and work just fine.

best bet if i ever have another gp its getting coilovers and huge wheels that arent meant to fit.
 
i should start a 'help me fund coilovers so i can fit 10 inch wide rims w/ crazy stretch' thread.

I'll start you off with a donation of $1.00 :th_laugh-lol2:


Love the look of the Saleen 18x9s but you should look at a higher offset wheel... there is a difference in flush fit with a fender roll, and molding on fender flares so you eliminate the 2" of tire and rim that's sticking out from the fender :th_laugh-lol3:

our cars are not 4x4's and shouldn't look like one either lol

Thats the only way to do it.. springs dont lower these cars enough for very low pro tires.

Other cars have the advantage off less fender gap stock then us.. haha
