Hello, I'm new to the site and recently acquired a low mile 2007 GT 500 and love it. I've been looking to replace the stock wheels and tires but wheel options for this vehicle are few and far between or extremely pricey. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd like to go with staggered 20's but want to keep wheel weight to a minimum.
Re: Wheels go to cruizin concepts, and they have the foose 20 inch wheels to fit the gt 500. 10 in wide rear wheels and 9 in wide on the front. i have em', got the chrome finish, and love em'!
Re: Wheels robwidner, Can you show us a photo? I would like to see how they look on your GT500. Thanks, Randall
Here are the pics of my car, Randall, hope this helps. I love em', plus how can you beat a combination of chip foose and carroll shelby.
Choice of wheels depends on your intended use. I wanted wheels that I could use at the drag strip as well as drive on the street. As I searched for wheels that would serve this need I found out that few wheels met this criteria when paired with a 2010 GT500. I finally found that Weld Wheels, in KC, made a 15x10.25 rear and 18" fronts. 18" is the smallest wheel that can be placed on the front of a 2010. I have 18x7 for the front. The 15" rear wheels allowed me to place large, high profile tires on the rear which is desirable for drag racing. I mounted MT 325x50R15 tires on the rear. PS: The suspension has been changed and the car lowered. Also, the front tires in the photos are 18x5. They were mounted for a photo shoot.
