    I noticed some people have 2005+ Saleen-style replica wheels (18x9) with a +36mm offset. From what I read, most people got them from Mustang Wheels Rims and Parts at CruizinConcepts.Com. I searched there, and the highest I found was +30mm. Where is the cheapest place to get these from (with a +36mm offset)?

    you probably have to call them. i bet they have the +36 offset cuz the saleen wheels on the gtp was bought from cruizin concept.

    first question, why do you want to run a 10" wide wheel on our car?

    second question, what tires are you going to run that will allow you to not rub?

    third question, can you prove me wrong and make them fit?

    usually the wider you go, the lower the offset youll need to use because of the wheel getting closer to the struts as you add width to the wheel. higher offsets sit in farther, lower sit out farther. the tires you want to run play a very big role in rubbing or not. the difference between two tires of the same height, but differing from 245 to 255 wide is huge.

    I have a GXP and it already has wider on the front and I don't know how wide I could go - it seems odd to me that it has a reversed staggered set-up anyway and I'm already running 255/45 on the front as it is, At this point I'm just trying to find out options as I won't be doing any changes until these tires need replacing. I do know a tire guy, maybe I'll see if we can test fit a couple and see what happens.

    A 10" rim on the rear of the GXP will NEVER fit unless you do major modifications.

    Hopefully being the owner of a GXP, you're not serious in the fact that you don't understand the backwards stagger of rim/tire width.

    The GXP has a reversed staggered setup for traction purposes - u have a heavy V8 up front. With a skinnier tire, you would have no grip.

    nope, if they were a lower offset yes, but its going to look stupid and be like 2" past the fender.

    I'll just have to get ahold of my rim/tire guy and figure out what fits/looks best.

    I understand the reverse stagger set-up, should I keep the reverse-stagger or go with the same size all around?
