I am looking in to these wheels for my IBM GTO. I was thinking 19's would fit nice on the car. The offset is good. I want to put 275's on the rear but i'm not sure if that would fit.
Also does anyone have these or pictures of them on their cars. They come in Grey, Black and Silver.
Thanks

What are the offsets? I tried to deal with some web site that has em, but it doesn't work very well and I ran out of patience...
ADD: found em on discount tire. 8" 40 ET and 9.5" 40 ET. It's a no go unless you do a non staggered setup with 245 on all corners.... Wheel looks cool though.

buywheelstoday.com shows that these should fit. 19x8 in the front 19x9.5 in the rear with 40mm offsets. Is this incorrect?

Yes. Incorrect. Won't be doing 275 with those 9" wheels without tearing up your fenders.

So what size wheel and tire can I put under there without having a problem?

Tricky question since the perfect wheel doesn't really exist for the GTO. Tons of choices that are sorda close, but not perfect. Here's a few:
VQ does the TSW Snetterton Jim346 mentioned. It looks similar to that wheel and is in a 9.5" with an optional +48 ET and runs 8" +38 front. Even that will have rubbing issues unless you choose the tire carefully.
From another thread there's a TSW that has a 9.0" rim that I assume VQ can do in +48 as well? Something like that has at least a 50/50 change of running a 275 rub free. Don't know any more info than that. Maybe someone will chime in.
I found possibly the perfect GTO fitment in a BMW X3 rim that has a 19x8" +46 front and 19x9" +51 rear. Rim doesn't look half bad either. Search my posts and you'll find the info. The would run the average 275 no problem. Dunno about weight or quality.
The Group A Drift R IIs they have coming out soon, which I'd guess are 9.5" +52 ET can at least do "narrow" 275s no prob.
Finally the 18" ASA AR1s which will be available in June from Tire Rack and have a 18x8" +40 front and 18x9" +45 rear. Probably fine for your average 265/35-18. 275 would need fender rolling. The thing I like about this wheel is it's a mesh, is fairly light weight, and best of all cheap, especially if you get the tire at the same time which means free mounting and RFB.

Thanks for the great write up. I'm actually thinking about a set of tsw mondello's up for sale here. They fit and look good. Maybe that would be the way to go.
