Is the FDs wheel size/offset similar to any other car?
Im trying to find out which ( if any) other car aftermarket FD wheels would be able to fit on. I know our high offset is a bit uncommon, and I have my set of almost brand new SSR GT2s in 18x9.5 +50 that Im looking to sell, and Im wondering if there is any other car forums I could post on. Tires are 265/35r18 on all four. Thanks for any help.

Hmm... thats a tough one. Pretty much all cars that are popular right now with the younger crowd use lower offsets. Bolt pattern isnt a problem because most japanese cars use the same as the FDs. Spacers would be the only other option for mounting these wheels on other cars and alot of people hate spacers. If I think of any cars with similar offsets, I'll be sure to let you know.

They will work on supra or most rwd lexus but will be sunk. That offset is high even for fd. But I would think you would have the best luck on a soarer/sc300 forum, they seem to not care much if their wheels fit flush.

Thanks guys, I figured the best thing would be to just list them on Ebay with a bunch of different cars in the subtitle, which is what I did just now:

2005+ Mustang's have the same bolt pattern and the offset is either 45mm or 50mm, I forget. I think the FD hub bore is a bit smaller than on the mustang, but since you are selling aftermarket wheels they should fit fine.
I've seen Ford Probe owners running FD rims. Don't know wether GT model makes a diff or not, I would assume all Probes have same patterns, offset, etc. The 95+ PGT rims look pretty good IMO (at least on a Probe for sure)



Sorry
