Default GTO wheel question

I have a question for one of my friends. He has a 2004 GTO and he was wondering if wheels that are made for camaros and TA's will fit his car....Some guy is trying to sell him a set of four 17x8 or maybe 9" C6 Z06 wheels...has tires 245/45/17....will they fit or will wheels rub on fender lip? Also what about offset and wheel back spacing?

You would have to tell us what widths and offsets you are thinking of getting. But yes the 5x4.75 bolt pattern will bolt up. Use this link for messing around with different widths and offsets. Stock GTO is 17x8 +48 offset with a 245/45r17 tire.

EDITED TO REFLECT STOCK OFFSET OF +48

Stock GTO wheels have a 48 offset, not 40.

and the bolt pattern is SLIGHTLY off as well. GTO is a 5X120 not the normal GM 5X4.75. Some say the difference is enough, some say they don't give a hoot.

GTO is 5x120 and Corvette is 5x120.65

How much is .65mm anyways. It works out to .026 inches. Not enough to sweat. If you are worried about it upgrade to ARP wheel studs. The F-body studs work in the back and you need Mitsu EVO studs in front(if I remember correctly).

Some wheel manufacturers even say their wheels fit both bolt patterns.
