Default Rim offset???

With the 17x10.5 rims, on an 02 GT, what will be a descent size front rim and tire to go on the front??? I am set on the 315/35/zr17 on the wheel replica site. Does anyone know anywhere else to find 315's and what is the normal asking price?? I am a lil confused on the offsets as well what kind of an off set will I need if any at all??? Thanks anyhelp will be greatly appreciated..........

I have the 17 X 10.5 Bullits on the rear with 315/35/ZR17 Sumitomo HTR Z tires. I am going to be putting 17 X 9 Bullits with 275/40/ZR17 Sumitomos on the front next month.

They 315s are on sale at www.tirerack.com for $119 each and the 275s are $99 each. Pretty descent tire for the $$.

Hey man thanks for that info, on the back of yours do you have any offsetts? or do they stick out a lil bit naturally cuz of size? Do you have any pics of your stang from the back? What made you wanna go with the 17x9's up front?? you think the 17x8's would give me a lil different stance?? Thanks for your help man greatly appreciated............

I have the stock 17 X 8 bullits from my 04 on the front now and the color is a touch different, not bad but a little. I am going to get the 17 X 9 replicas just so they match better.

I dont have any pics yet cuz the camera is at the rents house. There are other pics on here though.

THe top of the tire is even with the fender flare. It looks pretty good and mean.

I dont have any info as far as offset but if you get the rims from MT they are designed for the stang so they will fit great. Or call whomever you are buying them from such as discount tire or tire rack and they can help you with what will fit.
