I am new 2 the car seen. And I just bought my first one an its an 04 gto and I love it. But my question is I found a set of wheels I like but they r an f-body off set. They are 17 so the same size as my stocks just a a bit wider I believe they r 9.5s

They will work on the rear but not sure on the front

I dont think you will be able to run them on front without spacer. and if you will use spacer than you will be damn close to fender so if you are lowered than no chance to fit them in.

"scene" Our cars have a 120mm wheel lug spacing and the fBod is 4.75" so they'll be ~.65mm off on the wheel studs. Our cars are also "hub-centric" in that the wheels are fitted over the hub to center and help support the wheel. They can work with some finagling in the back for sure but because of the spacing difference and the fact they won't be supported by the hub I would for sure upgrade the studs to ARP 100-7708s. The stock studs are pretty soft anyways.

Ok guys thanx alot guess I just need 2 buy news that I know will work for me. If I ran a 18 what would b the widest rear I good go uguys think

I run rear 275/35/18 on 9.5" 56et wheels. I pulled the plastic rear inner liners (they could be trimmed and put back in, only the inside edges need cut out). I could have used a 275/40/18 but then my overall tire height would have been slightly taller as well and I was wanting to error on the side of caution. Stock suspension and I drive daily.

You can get 9 1/2" to work but 9" would be safer (50-55mm offset would be great). These cars have build variances and what works on one car may not on another if it's different. Some have gotten even wider (10") but I'm not sure if they use "cheats" like jacking up the back and such to prevent rubbing. My definition of a fit is for the wheel to go the entire range of motion to the bump stop without rubbing and even on turns. Wider wheels than stock would for sure require fender rolling or trim and maybe some inside fender work. IMHO another good idea is to replace the inner and outer control arm bushings back there as the stock ones allow squiggling of the arm under load such as when turning hard.

There's actually only a .5mm difference. F-body is 120 mm, GTO 120.5. Every F-body rim will work on a GTO hub, just a matter of the tire issue that he's having now.

120.65(F-Body) vs 120(GTO)

17x9 WS6 wheels will fit the rear with no mods. They won't fit the front though.

There are way to many differing opinions on the interwebz, lol.

Check your math. 4.75 = 120.65mm so technically .65mm difference. 25.4mm to the inch or try here. I did say they'd work and some people have them without major issue. Care needs to be done to get them centered on properly when tightening them down. ARP studs would be a nice addition. The hub relief is NOT the same size as the GTO so you'd need to get a hubcentric ring or as I said take care centering or you'll have vibrations.

Check your original post. You said that was a .6" difference, which equates to over half of an inch. All I was doing was correcting that, and I was still off a little bit. .65 mm and .6 inches is a huge difference which could've given someone the wrong idea.
