I found a set of wheels I kinda like, just not sure if theyll fit.

Offset is 44 or 45, cant remember exactly.

They should. The fron fenders are roomy and the fenders are rolled already. The only thing I would worry about is rubbing against the shock tower.

As far as I know no one has gotten a 9" wheel on the front of a stock GTO due to rubbing issues with the struts. 8.5" width is the limit so far.

I think that might be pushing it. I have 18x8's up front with 245/40-18's and they don't rub the strut tower, they do ever so slightly rub the inner plastic fender liner on hard turns. I don't even hear the rub when I'm driving, I can just see it when I get under there and turn the wheel. There's just not much room up there for too much. Good luck though and let us know how it all turns out.

Unfortunately, no. Otherwise, I'd have a set of Firehawk rims on mine.

Too bad.

Thanks anyway.
