[aussie_chicago]

Hi,noobie here,I may be an idiot,but are 18" wheels suitable for a GT?I have an 07 LGT,stock, obviously with 17' wheels,but will I be able to put 18" on without any mods or issues?has anybody else done this?has there been any issues with you guys,benefits/mistakes....?
Only reason i ask is I see a few wheels I really like,possibly even 07 STI wheels or spec B wheels,but they are 18",bombard me with your comments.....:lol:

Basically all wheels fits, what it comes down to is the width and the offset

Bolt pattern for our car is 5x100, so i don't think 07 STi wheels will fit since they are 5x114.3

yes you can use 18's a few of the chicago members have 18's. 18's general cost more and weight more. and the tire is a lower profile so it gives you less rim protection against pot holes and the such. you also wont have any performance advantage with 18's
