Do 16s fit a GT?
I'm in desperate need of winter tires,
came across and set of cheap 16 inch tires will 16s fit with the GT brakes? and what size of 16s will work? 215/65/16 are the winter tire sizes.. what do you guys think? |
If by GT you mean a manual trans 8 then no, they won't fit. I have 17s on my base manual trans 8, and they barely clear the calipers. 16s wouldn't have a hope. 16s are standard on the Automatic, but I'm not sure what packages on the auto might give you larger calipers. The standard calipers will take 16 inch wheels. That's all I've got. Someone else might know more.

i may be in luck then.. im 04 GT Auto

Oh and that is US spec. If you are in another country, other rules apply particularly to the five speed, manual trans, four port 8 sold in Europe.

You might be in luck. Try searching the forum for this question particularly in the "Tires, Wheels, Suspension section" of the forum.
Search functions are found in the upper right hand part of the screen. I am pretty sure that you should be able to find this question answered before. If not, others might know if the GT spec on the Auto includes larger brake calipers. |
Thanks,
ive tried searching it was tough to find something, my car is actualy US spec. imported to canada |
thanks,
i found my answer base AT models can fit 16s gt AT's cannot |
Yup you are correct. Anything except base level automatics have the upsized brakes that barely clear 17s.

Hey -
I did a little searching, and I agree that it wasn't easy, but I found the below, which seems to point to you having larger front calipers like the Manual transmission cars. I don't think that 16s will work, but I still can't say that with authority having never looked into it myself. Best of luck - H Base comes with" 16 in wheels 100 watt stereo/cd 6 speakers automatic 4 disc brakes power locks power windows anti theft Sports package adds: Xenon lights Fog lights DSC and traction control Limited slip Diff. 18 in wheels larger front brakes and sports tuned suspension. Touring package adds: sports package 300 watt bose 9 speaker system power sliding moon roof auto dimming mirror with homelink system Grand touring pakge adds: touring package leather 8-way driver power seat with lumbar heated front seats heated mirrors (and on the 06's) advanced keyless entry and start system Shinka package adds: Grand touring package Sirius radio with 1 year sub. Urethane foam injected suspension crossmembers Unique leather 6-disc in dash cd Bright alloy wheels leather wrapped parking brake handle Shinka B-pillar applique Hope this clears things up... and get the manual... |
