Tyrepower stores have a pretty good range, whereas Bob Jane stores are limited to a few brands .

Factory are 19x9 front and 19x9.5 rear for the GT 5.0 , and just a late model falcon stud patten 114.3 from memory . Just get your offset right and they would look better with a bit of outside dish . Tyres are 255 front and 275 rear factory .

We don't have any passenger wheels in our whole range that clear the brembos. Yes, I know ... and it drives me nuts.

Post by: gtv6capri on October 23, 2017, 07:15:04 pm: I didn't like the stock black rims, the dealer (Brighton Ford) had several cars fitted with TSW "Bathurst" rims, http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_bathurst.php not cheap at $2500 but I like the look of them and the dealer soaked up some of the cost

On a longer tour I'd prefer to carry a spare than rely on the foam.

Post by: Dwayne on October 23, 2017, 10:02:37 pm: Take the front, the issue is brake caliper clearance for the brembos

Post by: 17stang on October 23, 2017, 10:22:09 pm: Thanks, just thinking my whee/tyre height is going to be different so might need a taller tyre on the spare too
