There many mods one can do. I not saying that these are the only ones you can do, I have seen many different combinations for wheel sizes. I hope this list will help out many other people wanting to change their wheels.

Wouldn't tire brand make a difference?

Very much so. A 285 Toyo is like a 275 BFG.

Old list and partially false info. In terms of offsets you can't really fit a 60 anything on this car... well not unless you're interested in 7" wheels!

As we know from all the strut rubbing issues, +48 is about the maximum you want up front. While +55 is probably about the limit for anything you'd want put on the rear.

Where are you supposed to find a 9.5" +64?

Vette's have offsets somewhere up in that range, perhaps even higher IIRC. Either way that wouldn't fit a GTO without at least a 3/8" spacer.

Never saw the old one. Good stuff for all the current "will it fit" threads.

many a wheel shop will give you whatever you order. There's a premium for the service.. but you can get whatever you want custom made.
CCW is one.
I found one that would do just about everything in a custom size.... was a tad cheaper than ccw. But same idea. They would do anything in a 1 piece or 3 piece wheel as well.

So I should have no problem with my 245/35/19 with 40 offset, all around ?

Anything over +55 on a 9" wide rear wheel with a 275 isn't likely to work w/o rubbing on the inner fender.

Additionally, the bolt pattern translates to 5x4.72", not 5x4.75".
