^^Nah you should be fine.

Baby got new shoes last week. Replica Saleen Mustang wheels 18X9 +30 all around with 235/45F and 245/45R. Wheels weigh 25# each. Probably never go back to 19s or bigger, the ride is just too smooth on the 18s.

Simple answer, I loved the look of the Gravis1s that were stolen. Having pretty much given up on finding a replacement set I went on the prowl for wheels that were similar: 5-6 spoke design, chrome, clearance for my BBK. slight concavity and these fit every parameter I set, even the sizes and offsets fit the bill.

Your running spacers for better fitment or to clear the bbks?

Just for better fitment and since I had the 5mm already I kept them on there. The wheels are Saleen replicas and the Saleens all came with a BBK from the factory. W/O the spacers the rims still clear my Wilwoods by an inch at least. And I literally have less than 3mm clearance between the tires and fenders on all 4 corners.

Nice! Can be difficult to find an 18" wheel that clears bbk

Update for 2015. Added a new member to my family that doesn't have anything to the G but warrants mention here. Say hello to Peyton, my 2006 Spice Red GTO 6MT. Love, love, love this beast!!
