9.5" wheels on a 2014 GT?

Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying a set of GT500 rims to put on my GT. Anyone out there with some experience doing this? Will I notice the wider tires on the front, or is it a non-issue?

Same as on a GT500, same wheel opening, same clearance.

So, yes, it's a non-issue unless you try to put too wide a tire on it.

Perfect, thanks! Do you have any recommendations on ideal tire width?

Hahahhaha! Thank you for making my night. And for making me spit out my 90 minute IPA. Hilarious. I thought the same thing as soon as I opened this thread.

So you're going to change your name from the worst forum name to the second worst forum name?

(Psssst: I think it's a joke)

As for tire size, copying the stock rubber from the GT500 would be a good start. you might be able to go up a size in width but keep an eye on the diameter.

Makes sense; thanks for the info! I'm looking at the Pilot Super Sports which aren't made in the OEM size unfortunately. I might need to find some different wheels I suppose.

You don't like leopard print car wraps?

So that post was actually a joke, but I couldn't resist with this awesome screen name of mine. This thread is 100% legit.

Edid: Oh, here's JB's Ferrari if you didn't get the reference (which, to be honest, I'm a little embarrassed that I know about): http://thesupercarkids.com/wp-conten.../06/bieber.png

That's an Audi by the way, a very sad Audi, that should be burned for the good of all mankind.
