    Just to make sure....me and my little son are turning the 98 gtp into a hot wheels. It's going to be a lot of fun but I have some wheels I ordered and on there way that have a bore size of 73 and I think mine is 70.1.
    will this be ok and I did get hub centric rings and the wheel is 16 5x114.3 with a +25 offset.
    Will this work

    Should work with centric rings.

    With stock 225/60/16 tires it shouldnt rub, stock 94-96 rims are +25 I never rubbed. A bigger tire would likely rub though.

    the description 'hot wheels' to me describes a car with much larger wheels than stock, like a hot wheels car.

    you've gotta go at least 18s to set the car off with wheels. anything smaller looks a bit goofy.
