You Sir, are a legend.

Now my picks are between:

SSR GTF01:

18x8.5 + 32 front

18x9.5 + 40 rear

~$870 per wheel

SSR GTV01:

18x8.5 +30 front

18x9.5 +35 rear

~$470

Having trouble finding the reason for the difference in cost on the mobile site

GTF01 is a forged wheel. The GTV01 is not.

Just messaged JDMconcepts who are the distributor for SSR and all those offsets for f01 and v01 are discontinued :(

Back to making the GT5s fit... 18x10+38.. who can give me their wheel specs and how much clearance they have to guard/strut?

Can space the blade in but can't roll the guards much in FG apparently..

I reckon you can make em fit Tom but you'll def need to run a 5mm spacer to make the rears clear the trailing arm which will make them +33

These are how mine looked when I was moving some weights for a mate and had the boot fully loaded. It had about 2mm clearance between the tyre and guard and bear in mind the tyre is bigger than a std 285

I reckon with 275s they'll fit perfect even if they're oversized 275s

Also, is your car lowered?

[TomT]

I can use a spacer to inset the control blade rather than a hub spacer so I don't lose any guard clearance.

It's on Shockworks coilovers, haven't set everything up yet so height will depend on wheels, not an issue

[Bellato]

The control blade spacer won't change things because its the 'knuckle' on the hub that is the problem and a spacer won't move that

Everyone says there is no room to move with FG guards but this is a lie. I got at least 10mm more clearance from rolling and pumping my guards, and that wasn't pushing them too far

[TomT]

Ahh I see ^

Must only be with 19/20 inch that trick works

Do they really mean that they won't buy them at that offset or that SSR actually don't make them that way anymore?

I had similar conversations with other wheel "Distributors" and they basically lie and say that wheel manufacturer X doesn't make them anymore. only to find they do when I contacted the manufacturer or overseas Distributor.

Hey Tom, Do particularly want a 10" rim or will a 9.5" suffice?
