Wheels from Discount Tire for the GTO

[Discount Tire Direct]

As you guys already know, for the most part, the 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO is a relatively easy car to fit wheels to. Really, the only inhibiting factor is the rear fender lip. Believe it or not, we've had customers end up with rubbing problems simply because they purchased a different BRAND tire for the rear!

We used to offer 8" wide wheels with a +40mm offset on our website, but the problem we ran into was that they would fit on some cars without any modifications and they would rub on others. I have talked to both our fitment department and several vendors and they all confirmed that they've seen these same problems. That's why our website is so limited on GTO fitments. For the general public, we need to be able to GUARANTEE the average customer that anything they purchase from our website will fit their car without any modifications.

That being said, the general consensus is as follows (these are not the only applications that will work but these are the most common):

8" width with 35-49 offset will work all the way around on the GTO. However, some cars may need to modify the rear fenders, some may not. It all depends on the car and the wheel/tire combination.
*Note you can get away with a higher offset in the rear only if needed*


You can squeeze an 8.5" width all the way around using a 40 offset but this will most likely require modifications.

As for the rear, 9" width 40-50 offset or 9.5" width 45-50 offset. For the most part, all of these will require rear fender modifications.

Cradle alignment, new springs/coilovers, and rolled/cut fenders are ideal modifications to the GTO for the owner looking to increase tire size and or replace the OEM wheels with after market wheels.

Thank you everyone for your continued support!
