GT500 Wheels and tires on a GT??? Will they work?
I have an 05 vert with FRC suspension and handling kit which lowered the car.

I like the looks of the larger staggard tires and want to know if they will fit without rubbing or bottoming out.

I haven't posted for a couple of years. I put 1500 miles on my car last year. I baby it.

Check out the For Sale section, there's usually a set or two on there for sale.

Reverend, do you have some pictures posted of your car with the GT500 Wheels and tires?

Yeah they fit, I'd get just the rims though and pick out a different set of tires. I really was not a fan of the Eagle F1 supercars

Do you have a link. I went to the marketplace and was going through page after page and didn't see any for sale. How old are they and how many miles are on them?

I have a set on my 09 GT, and think they look great. I went with the 255 tires all around, though. The 285s just don't quite fit right under the rear fenders, at least to my eye.
