Hey,
Quick question. I have a chance to swap my 2006 Enth. wheels and tires with ones off a 07 grand touring. which would be a change from 18s all around to 18/19 combo. just wondering if there would be clearance issues with the 2007 as far as swapping my 18s on it. Also, would there be an issue having the 18/19 combo on my 06? This is just a quick question and I need an exact answer because I have only a few hours before this op. goes away. Thanks.


Tire size in the rear is only different 60mph vs. 60.9 mph a difference in diameter of .4"

 

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be a problem.

Either way, if it's a straight up trade I would do it in a heartbeat. The grand touring wheels are worth a whole lot more than the stock 06 ones.

 

Thanks for the help - I was planning on trying it anyways just to check for myself - my only real concern was clearance of the rear brembos on the 07 touring.

The good news... It works, swap complete. I now have a nice set of 07 touring wheels and tires on my 06 Enth. Straight trade $0 looks a lot better now.

And before I get pages of "it needs lowered". I can't, Im sitting at factory height 245/40/18 front and 265/35/19 rear and I scrape all over town even going at an angle slow.. I would love to lower it if I could but my only real option there would be to bag it so that I could make it over these crap roads.

Once these 35s on the rear wear out I've got some 265/40/19 to slap on there to fill up a little more wheel well and balance the sidewall height front/back.

 

That worked out well. The overall look is well balanced.

 

I don't get why you were concerned about GT wheels fitting the same exact car.

 

Well lets start a list here.
I wasn't sure that my 18" all around (see first pic.) would fit on a 2007 GT due to the brembo brakes and different widths.
I wasn't sure the offsets and widths of the GT wheels would fit and clear my 06.
I know the ECU can handle a 3% variance as far as overall size, where at most, with the 265/40/19 I plan on putting on the rear it will only hit 2.5% from factory.

Yes, it was a newb question... the only reason I threw it up here is because I didn't want to waste my time trying to swap if there was a detail I was over looking that would cause it not to fit. Not to mention this opportunity was only available for 2 hours, and I was on the clock so I didn't have a chance to sit and research what all was changed between 2006 Enth. and 2007 GT.

 

Looks sexy. Good job on the trade.
