Hello everyone, first post here. Got my 2001 GT 5spd. last night...I got lucky...it has only 22k certified on the odo. Anyway...for whatever reason this GT has 16inch rims with 225/55/16 tires on it. I'll assume the previous owner liked the ones he/she bought for it so much they decided to keep them and may have sold off their stock GT 17's and these 16's were the cheap option to replace with. So...my question is this: What damn rims should I get for this thing!!! There are too many available and my head is spinning. 17 or 18 inch will work for me. I want to go offset with 10.0 or 10.5 in the rear and 9.0 for the front. I would like to stick to OE rims, but i dont see any 10.0-10.5 width from FoMoCo. Also, what's the widest front tire size/rim i can safely use, 275 SW? (stock suspension) Thanks everyone and Great site/board...nice to know its here.
