hehe.. If I did the GTS, I would go with the conservative offsets. I want to run 285's in the rear, the +18 offset on the GTS will NOT allow me to run that offset unless I do some major fender modification, plus I dont want to have my tires stick outside of the rear fenders (and DONT want to go more negative then the stock camber). 275's are fine, but I need more rubber for my power and future power goals.

When I order my wheels I'm going with the Bridgestone Potenza RE01R. They only come in 245 for front and 275 rear. Would those sizes still fit on a 9.5/10.5 setup? Anybody on those tires now?

I rub a lil on the right rear on hard turns. 275 rear.

also......You'll want to stay with a 255 in the front so you don't bend the rim so easily.

Man I cant wait to see these on your car. Looks like everything got there okay from us to you. Oh and the 255/275 setup is awesome. I went from a 245 -->255 and felt a very noticable difference in cornering and the overall feel is much better. You dont feel as much of the surface meaning bumps and smaller potholes are absorbed better.

Yep...definitely looks hawt!

Yeah, I did. Ordered the wheels from Performance since they had it in stock & ready to ship while I'd had to wait another 2-3 months on the other vendors. Now since Performance didn't mount tires anymore, I went with Rick to hook it up on the tires which he did. No worries though, my shop has all the tools & they already mounted/balanced it. Just need my car back to put it on
