19" x 9" Rims

[Jontall]

Does anyone know if 19" x 9" rims with 245/35/19 tires (all 4 wheels) would cause any problems like rubbing, etc.

9" rims up front will be too wide. We know from the stock rims you can't go inward towards the strut so the additional 1" has to go towards the fender... ain't happen'n!!

I had my eye on the 06 HSV GTO Limited Edition 10 spoke wheels (19x9) from JHP. I thought if they fit the HSV GTO then they would fit our cars.

The 2004 model had 8's, where did you see them advertised as being 9" wide? I don't see them for sale on JHP's website.:confused:

Well with proper offsets 9" rims out back isn't a problem, but I don't know how you fit them up front without sticking out too far.

Unlike the Coupe4 which has lip flares and is fitted with 9's, the GTO LE has the same fenders as the US GTO so I don't see where the extra clearance is coming from.

I remember geoff from JHP (which has a coupe4) said the coupe4 uses 8" up front also, 9" back only.

The front flares are needed because the front diff hubs stick out farther then the rwd car.
