looks good. I have 305/35/18 in the rear. The 305's sit flush with the fender wells and the 35's are a little skinnier tire. Didnt like the fatter tire (40) but it looks good on your car.

so would you call those ricer bolts on the wheels? lol.

in all seriousness though, the look fantastic. Did you have to custom order them in those size/offset?

Is it just the angle, or does the offset in the rear look alot more aggressive than the front? I think you could have pushed out your fronts a bit more. What were the details on the width/offset again?

Looks awesome! i dint think the 18's would look good but its perfect on a GT.

Your rears is very low so you may make some contact due to the very wide rubber. If you have an adj UCA you can prolly compensate a bit, judging by how low you car is in the rear you may need an adjustment anyway, are you Lower contrl arms parallel with the ground? My GT was low like yours, my LCA's were not parellel, the ADJ UCA needed tweaking.

Were you able to use the hub rings? I was NOT, there was not enough threading on the bolts to secure the wheel when the hub rings were used. Im getting some shimming betweek 55 - 65, im looking into getting them made for my application.

Congrats, car looks sinister.

Looks good, I'm sure it looks even better in person.

What are you going to do with your old wheels?
