Default just ordered new wheels

I just ordered new wheels from Luke @ tirerack.com. Got a set of 19x8.5 and 19x10 SSR GT3's with Bridgestone S03's 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. Can't wait to put them on next week when they come. Yay, i'm happy!

They have the offset 37 on front and 41 on rear, so hopefully they'll accomodate, considering they are 5 split spoke, and i got them for just under 3500 with Bridgestone SO3's , they are YR series too. So it was a good deal, i learned that the center of the GT3's are forged. They are also 3 piece too.

Also, I would assume that the 8.5" fronts that you got would be the same ones Tire Rack would have sold a SupraTT owner.
You should call just to check, but it is probably the same. I had 18" SSR Integral with a +35 offset and it cleared the Supra brakes by a few mm's...

Congrats on the rims, I was planning on ordering those exact rims, except 18" in the spring. I can't wait to see how they look on your car especially since your car is silver. I look forward to seeing pics. Congrats once again.

GSNav - You should be OK with Big Brakes...SSR actually thinks about that kinda stuff when they design their wheels... (unlike Giovanna!)
