What I dont understand is that it is a 18x 8.5 with 40 offset up front and a 30 offset on the 18x9.5's out back. whats the deal with that? thanks for the help. p.s. my fenders have been professionally cut and sealed. I have koni adjustable's all around and stock springs. Any issues?

I don't like the rims, but you're definitely gonna need the 45et!

Noice!
If you can get the rears at 48-52mm offset and you'll be in the sweet spot!

30 on the back and you are throwing away fitment on this car. Listen to Mikey, he likes it.

No problem!
18x8.5 40mm offset will work great.

With the stock springs in the back, I bet you will sag too much and rub even with a 48ish offset.

The wheels look interesting. They have rivets but don't jump out at you like other wheels I have seen.

That's probably because they are a true 2 piece wheel and they actually perform a function unlike most wheels with fake rivets. I hate fake rivets.

You'll have big problems with +30's in the rear. Plus, I don't think they look good with the BOM.

i'll be running 48's in the rear. And when there painted, they'll be so exotic looking. I'm just tired of the same damn wheels on every gto. The majority of our community do not spend the proper amount of money for aftermarket wheels. except for the ccw guys.
