  • Updated w/pics:GTP 18" wheels and tires on a v-6 base m

    Yesterday I tried Arcanum's (Jason) Factory wheels and tires on my car yesterday and had absolutly no issues with fitment, bounced the suspension and was nowhere near rubbing anything. Actually they fit very nice. Just figured that I would share my success story with you all .

    I dont see why you would have thought there would be a fitmint issue anyways?! Considering that numerous people have put aftermarket 18's and even 20's on these cars?!

      Noah, there was a discussion on this in the past and a couple others said that it couldn't be done with the factory 225/50/18 tires.

        yeah I remember that the issue mentioned was a different fender liner was used to accomodate the 18's.
