Default Bought some wheels, will they fit?

I bought a set of Ruff Racing 278s. The rears are 19x9.5 w/48mm offset. Tires for rear are 255/35/19 GSD3.

Will these bolt on and ride with no modification to the fender?

Car is a GTO.

Should fit fine. No mods. The only issue I can think of you might want to look into hub centric rings. I believe that the center hole of the wheel is bigger that the F-Car hub button.

Yea, it's being shipped with rings. I'm going to put the wheels on w/o them first and if there's no problems I won't add them.

Why didn't you ask if they'll fit before buying'em?

Because I was going to get them anyway. Just want to know if they'll bolt on problem free or if I should be calling shops about fender rolling.

With a 48mm offset you'll be fine.

Holy ****! As I was.

It's an 06 GOAT. Damn, I know that wheel/tire combo would be undersized for a fbody, lmao.

And here I was getting my hopes up. So, GTO owners, think this combo will fit the rear w/o rolling the fenders?

You have a bigger wheel well than me. I forgot to add in the first post that the wheels are going on a GTO.

i wouldnt reccomend putting them on without the rings! i made that mistake with my old thunderbird and one of my brand new 10th anniversary cobra wheels ended up beating me to a redlight!! its the hubs that actually carry the cars weight, not the lugs (they are designed to hold the wheel against the hub, but not support the weight of the car). sure the lugs can do it, and may never fail, but why take the chance!!
