the things you should look for on a GTS/Alltrac/GT-Four

a bolt pattern of 5x100

and depending on width of wheel

i had 7.5" wide wheels on my car with a 35 offset last year, the front was close to being flush with the fender but the problem with the GTS/Alltrac/GT-Fours is that the rear will need a spacer or wider wheel to fill out the wider fender,

ive heard that with a 7.5" wheel that has 35 offset will need a 20-25mm to be flush,

as for diameter

this should help

BTW i noticed that your car is RHD, very nice

very nice observation. it is indeed RHD. i believe all gt-four should be?

ya, i noticed that the rear fender sticks out a lot more. putting spacer in the back would definitly look a lot nicer, but is it okay to have your rear tires sticking out further out than your front tires? would there be any problems? and how much would a pair of spacers usually cost.

depending on who you order from ,

im getting a pair of 25mm spacers in a few weeks and the price i was quoted was 150CDN for everything,

as for handling you will hear different things from different people, ive asked a few friends and they have had no problems, i think the problems come if your driving really hard?

the style of rims that you choose should be completly your own decision because is up to your budget and your sources right?

but yes i aggree that gold rims on a grey car is very nice,

im running a set of gold mesh style rims this year (if i can find a place to paint them)

your gonn have to come out to some of the meets, i want to see a real RHD gt four hahaha

If your budget allows you to spend more on wheels, I would get anything forged from Volk/Rays.
