Default Will saleen wheels fit on the gs?

Just trying to replace my stock 01 gs3 wheels (they look small and skinny).

245/45/18 front and 275/40/18 on the back. I'm running stock suspension. Will it work? I checked and gs & mustang has the same bolt pattern but what about offset?

OK, the bolt pattern (not thread count, that's what he meant) on the Saleen wheel is 5 lug 4.5 inch 114.3mm High Positive Offset so yes, they'll fit.

The tire size you listed is pretty big but still in odometer spec for the GS300, WAY out of spec for the GS400/430.

You should run 245/40 front and 275/35 in the rear

The new mustangs use a super sugh offset like +50 or something so you may want to invest in some H&R Spacers. Also get some hub rings. Mustangs hub bore is 70.5 and Lexus is 60.1

Yes they fit no problem... 94-04 offsets. I have a Saleen as well and I was running my 18x9 on the rear when I had a flat for the day. Im slammed so it did rub the tire a little but if you are stock suspension you are fine.

I took a pics back then as a joke but I cant seem to find it. Looked cool tho hah

IIRC, these are really heavy though. 18x9 +24 in the front and 18x10 +22 in the rear should be real nice.

they should work, especially if you get the typical 99-04 saleen wheels, 5-spoke have like a 35 offset, and will look **** mcgee on there!
