I just ordered a set of the rims below in 19s. The offset is the same as the GTO The rims are 19x7.5 I think not sure if they are 8.5. He states it fit the same as my other HPDs. The tire size we are putting on is 245/35-19
Is it possible that this can fit without rolling the fender?
Here is the rim below.

link to place to get those? that's a nice-looking rim!

wheel diameter is not the issue here. it's wheel width and offset. i'd hope the wheel would be a 8.5". a 7.5" is a litle narrow for the GTO. as far as offset, you're really looking for an offset of AT LEAST +40mm with a 8.5" wide wheel, +45 or more would be better. of course, tire width plays a part in it as well. try to find a tire brand that runs a little narrow, like the Nitto 555s.

Now I think about it is an 8.5 like you stated. I am not sure I am allowed to post a link to a non sponsor. I can get a good deal if on multi sets since I am friends with the Manufacture. The wheel also comes in black center, hyper silver, and chrome. It also comes comes in 20s. The offset is fine and its a 5x120. The tires that are going on it are pretty unique. They are very high quality and rated higher than most.
Here is what I ordered.

Tire specs
Created by Vredestein in partnership with Giugiaro Design, the Ultrac is the ultimate tyre for the high end of the market. With its rounded shapes, flowing contour and inclined corners, the Ultrac is superbly designed. It is also blessed with many high-tech features. Take, for example, the Ultimate Handling Construction (UHC). This construction gives the Ultrac a high handling ratio, resulting in exceptional handling on wet and dry roads. Again, look at the Centre Shift System (CSS) found in the middle of the tyre; by shifting the right and left tread parts in relation to the centre section, noise production is minimised. And finally, the use of Full Silica Silan Solution in the tread compound means the Ultrac performs superbly on wet road surfaces as well as being safe in all other weather conditions.

what is the offset, exactly?

i don't think it's against the rules to post the link. just don't try to publicly 'hook people up'. i mean, i could post a link to www.tirerack.com if i was just, say, showing a wheel to others. but if i said 'hey. buy these wheels from these guys. they'll hook you up.' that's another story

On my 04 STS GTO I have Beyern 5's 19x8.5 with Nitto 555's 245/35-19. NOTHING done to the fenders and NO srcub what so ever.

FYI, the Beyern 5 is a +40mm offset in 8.5" widths.
