RUFDRAFT Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I've got an '07 GT coupe inbound. One of the things I plan to do is put on aftermarket rims. I've got the rims picked out (THAT didn't take much time! ) - but I'm not sure if I should go with 18's or 19's. The Dude at Wheel Max claims they haven't had many issues with 19's getting damaged on the road - but I don't have much faith in his opinion. I think 19's would look better on the GT - but I don't want to sacrifice wheel integrity. Ironically, if I go with 18x9.5, he says I can run 285x40's on the rears. With 19's - they only come in 9" width - so I'd have to run 275's on the rears. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpenna Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 This is probably obvious to others, but it bit me once so I'll mention it. Make sure the tires you want come in the rimsize you like. Tirerack has a ton of 18 and 20's, but 19's seem to come in a limited selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted July 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 I just saw an '07 Vert at my Ford store with the 18" rims. I'm going with 19's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest evilchris Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 If you get 19's RUF, you may want 4.30 gears. I run 4.10's on my 92 5.0 with 16" rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted July 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Yeow! 4.30's? I'm driving this car daily to work - and weekends try to spank some pesky Preludes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
