New pics 05 GT

USBP382 · 04-01-2006, 10:26 AM

Hello,

Just wanted to update the board with new pics of my 05GT
I couldnt wait for the 18X10s to come in at MT and went and bought the 18X9's with Goodyear Eagle F1 GS 275/40-18. They look sweeeeet. Now I have to try to fit them up front since MT has the 18X10s in stock now.:wallbash:
PS: MT doesnt mention the spacers for the 18X9 anymore. I wonder if they got new 18X9s with the correct spacing too. BTW the 18X9's did not need a spacer for the rear.

Enjoy!

Looks very nice but i am still not a fan of the new body style.

the rims look real nice!, why didn't you go black though? IMO black on black would look GREAT, but still looks good with those deepdishes...

now you gotta drop that baby...

Hello all!

I was curious about the 18X9's fitting the front, so I decided to swap the wheels today. The 275/40 18s fit with no problems except i had to use the provided spacers to clear the calipers. I have two questions. Is there alignment or bearing problems that will arise with using such a wide tire for the front? and, Any cautions when using a spacer? MT provided a .25 spacer, I think, I can get away with something half that.

Thanks for the advice.

PS What tire should I use for the 18X10's in the rear.
