'04 GTO staggered wheels? I have a yellow jacket 04 GTO and looking for a set of staggered wheels that will fit with modifications to the body and no rubbing issues, looking for the widest rim and tire combo for rear, and something like 8.5 in front. Im looking to go with black rims with a machined lip, not looking for knock-off GM rims, looking for sport auto-cross style rims. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's an option to consider...
Wheels:
Front - 18x8 +40 TSW Thruxton
Rear - 18x9.5 +45 TSW Thruxton
Tires:
Front - 235/40-18's
Rear - 265/35-18's
The rear may require fender modifications. As you may know, the GTO has 1" fender lip in the rear which makes fitments tight. I've seen this set up on two identical cars and it rubbed on one and not on the other even running the same brand/model tire.
