Default Anyone have the SSR GT3's from Tire Rack

I was wondering if anyone on this board has the SSR GT3's with the staggered setup on 18s. I heard the only size for 19s is 19x8.5, offset is 37. Will this fill out my veilside sideskirts and rear bumper, cause i know the rear wheels need to come out a bit for it to look flush with the kit. What do you guys think...look for another wheel in 19s with staggered setup or do the gt3's come in something else than 19x8.5's. Thanks everyone.

Tire Rack sells either an 8.5" or a 10" width for the SSR GT3...
Plug in an LS instead of a GS and you will see that width... If you only plug in a GS, 8.5" is the only width shown....Tiny

Hey tiny,

Thanks. I was wondering if you know is the reason they don't have 19x10 for the GS because the offset is not compatible. The guy told me the offset is 37. Is that right? I have no clue. THanks.

Do you mean +37 offset for the 10" or the 8.5"?...+37 offset with a 10" wheel might be to large an offset, not 100% sure.....I would prefer other CL members verify this as well.
Theoretically, you could run a 19x8.5"F +37offset and 19x10"R +37 offset.(if the rear wouldnt rub) I really doubt that those two widths are ONLY offered in a +37 offset, that would be strange.
I had 18x8"F +35 offset and 18x9"R +45 offset SSR Integral and it worked fine. I actually would have preferred the rear be a larger offset(like +40) for cosmetic reasons. Consider that if I ordered the GT3 right now, I would specify the following:
-19x8.5"F with a SupraTT offset and fitment.
-19x10"R that is only advertised for the LS430(granted the offset was ok)
Remember that the smaller #'s(i.e +37) mean mm's towards the "street" side, and larger #'s(i.e +41) mean mm's more towards the "shock/strut" side.....Dont forget how small mm's are. Tiny
