17s on a GXP

Who has them? What brand and style are they? What offset did you use? And did you stagger them front and back? and if you have pics please post up.

I have Mustang 17x8s. Just on the front though. Looking into some of these.

17x6.5. Then gotta find some 17x9s to replace my 17x8s for track use.

I'm looking for a winter set of rims, gonna put 4 snow tires on the car come November. If the 17" GT or GTP rims clear the brakes it would be nice. I have a little more faith in factory wheels over $99 special rims. I've searched other forums and seen people suggest them, but haven't found anybody posting they work.

The 17s fit, anything else does not.

I have 17" rims for winter. They were from Tire Rack, and fit great. Due to the sidewall, they're actually a slightly larger diameter than my stock Alcoa's. They worked very well, and weren't staggered, just 17x7 all around. I can get spec info if you'd like. They look a million times better than steelies, which are hard to get in a size that'll fit over our front brakes anyway.
