Haven't received mine yet, but I'm starting to think about wheels and tires already. Anyone know the stock wheel width & how big of a tire can we squeeze in the wheel well?

cvp33 12-19-2003, 10:36 PM Stock is 17x8 Many have posted that 275's will fit. We'll see. digitalgod 12-20-2003, 02:56 AM From what I can remember from the Aussies talking about this, 255 is the largest without modification. You can get 275s but you have to modify the wheel well lip and a couple other areas. monarogts 12-20-2003, 10:19 AM yeah i have 245/35 19s and you cant go much wider without mods tdimasi 12-21-2003, 10:29 PM What about the lug pattern? Is it shared with any other GM product? Is it a 4 3/4" patter? mmciau 12-21-2003, 10:47 PM 5 x 120mm cvp33 12-21-2003, 10:50 PM When I asked this question before I was told that BMW 3 series rims would fit. Same bolt pattern and same back spacing. I was given a size of 5x120 and 42 offset. I would assume the 42 refers to millilmeters. This makes sense because the 3 series beemers are 40 mm. If this is true, there are currently 55 - 18" rim choices on Tirerack.com that fit. Howie 12-22-2003, 09:59 AM I was told by my contact in Pontiac the GTO has the same pattern as the Vette, 5x4.75". mmciau 12-22-2003, 02:47 PM 120mm = 4.724" based on 25.4mm to inch mike scottknight 12-22-2003, 03:03 PM Wow, better make sure before ordering wheels. 4.75" x 25.4 = 120.65mm, which is close enough for some people. Without looking at a drawing, I don't know what the tolerance spec is, but I would wager the difference is outside it. goatfarmer 05-05-2004, 09:07 PM I am having the worst trouble fininding rims I like without having to go to 18's in the gto's bolt patterns...any help out there? cjlannoy 05-05-2004, 10:09 PM check www.bigwheels.net but be carefull, they will tell you it fits when it actually will rub a little on the rear wheel wells. The good news is they will let you borrow a fender roller to remedy the problem for no charge.
