I'm a newb and buying my first GTO this week. It has stock wheels with tires that are almost completely gone and I hate to buy new tires for wheels I don't plan on using very long. I've searched and searched and searched and just cant find the info I'm looking for.

I've had nothing but imports for the last 10 years and am still fond of import style wheels. My current car that I'm selling to pay for the GTO is a 2000 Impreza RS that I have a set of gold Rota's on (to give you an idea of what I like). I LOVE that car, but I'm in Texas and I'm tired of never having anywhere fun to drive it. So, it's time for a highway car that I can take to events.

NOW, onto wheels. The wheels that I like the most, are the TSW MAX and TSW Tremblant. When you go to the TSW website, they claim that a +35 offset will fit, but according to these forums and the table listed below, they won't fit.

So my main question is this: Can you make a 18x8 +35 fit the GTO without major modifications? Will rolling the fenders do the trick?

Here's the link to TSW's page:

Here's the wheel fitment guide found elsewhere here on LS1Tech:

7.0" ............ +26 to +65 ........ 215, 225, 235
7.5" ............ +33 to +61 ........ 215, 225, 235, 245
8.0" ............ +39 to +55 ........ 225, 235, 245
8.5" ............ +45 to +48 ........ 235, 245, 255

REAR Only!
8.0" ............ +36 to +65 ........ 245, 255
8.5" ............ +42 to +65 ......... 245, 255
9.0" ............ +48 to +65 ........ 255, 265, 275
9.5" ............ +55 to +64 ........ 265, 275 (body mods are required)

Actually, I'd also like to know if or how these might fit as well. These are my favorite, but I cant find the info needed to know if they will fit.

They are 18x8.5 +40

18x8 with a 35 offset should fit fine provided the bolt pattern is correct and you use something like 235s.

If you stay with a 245/40/18 tire they will fit fine. I have a 19x8.5 +40 on the front wheels on mine.
