- 2005 Pontiac GTO A4
Hi all.
I have a 2005 Pontiac GTO in the US. Same thing as Holden Monaro.
Someone is offering to me these wheels for a good price, he used to have them on his 2004 GTO and they seemed to have worked fine for him, but I don't know his driving habits.
They are 8x18JJ with 245/40/18 tires on them. When I tried them on, the rears rubbed on the fender lip.
I did then asked around and looked on the inside of the spokes and they have 38mm offset, whereas stock 18" wheels have 48mm offset. So basically these tires are sticking out 10mm too much and no wonder they rub (I don't know how this guy drove his GTO with them and didn't notice anything).
So I did more Googling and found these tires sold on some Aussie and NZ websites, but none of them have 38mm offset.
So I came here to ask whether anyone on this forum knows anything about these tires.
I haven't measured the bore hole yet, but I have a feeling that it is larger than the standard GTO/Monaro/Commodore hub. I believe ours is 68mm, and all these tires I found that are being sold are listed with 75mm bore hole.
Here is one website selling them:
Stamford Tyres - Wheels - SSW - Exclusive - S009 Fanatic
