Do real men have to tell everyone else what real men do? Did I just include myself in that group? :P

17x8 +30. I have a set on my vert but the 245-45-17 tires rubbed pretty bad so I had to flare my fenders. Thinking about selling or repainting satin black or gunmetal.

Nope, 17x8. From '99+ GT models. I have 225/45/17 F and 245/45/17 R on the silvers and 235/45/17 all around on the pinks. I didn't need to flare the stock fenders, but I have heard of issues with 245s up front on stock diameter strut/coilspring combos. I'm running some KTS coilovers. I also have extended studs all around, I've also read some people were having issues with the front studs being a hair too short. Wheels are also fairly light for the size.

BTW RXTASY, I love you car. lol. Looks like you painted your front bearing dust caps?

Here's mine from the pics n specs thread. They have some curb damage. 17x9 cobra wheels, +26 offset. 235/45/17 F and 245/45/17 R. I have Ground Control coilovers, no way these will fit up front with stock springs.

Here's the real pics.

I had some fit issues with stock-style struts. But I was trying to run 245s on the front and 275s in the rear. When I went to coil-overs the problem went away. Longer front studs were necessary and I did have the flare the fenders slightly

This is with 1998 Cobra rims, not the 99 GT. But they have identical dimensions.
