Quick question on rims

well i am about to order the Enkei Rp03 rims for my 8 but the thing is that I have an 09 GT and I wanted to know if i could get the 19" rims for it?

396-995-6542SBC199.5425-114.3$460.00

are the ones I am planning on getting. would it screw with any of the suspension on the car as long as I get tires to fit the rims?

also what tires would you recommend for these rims?

yes, you can get 19's. I would reccomend the 19x9.5 all around. It comes in two offsets, +42 and +22. Both will fit it just depends on how aggressive you want the wheels to look. 255/35/19 tires would suit your needs.

Get them from either Fluid Motorsports or AutoRnD from the vendor forum at the top of the main page. They both have WAY better prices than that site shows.

I think mine were like $309 ea shipped. Does that sound right for 18x9.5?

^Yeah for the Silver RP03's. The SBC cost $100 extra usually.

stick with the +42 offset because its a bit more conservative and you should have zero fitment issues with the wheel and tire setup. If you go with the +22 you will have to have alot of negative camber, and maybe some fender rolling/pulling to get it to fit.

If you go with 19x9.5 all around then either a 255/35 or a 265/30 tire would look really good.

If you decide to go with a wheel that is a bit narrower than 19x9.5, then the 245/35 should be good for that.
