Wheels on 2017 base GT vs PP GT

Are the 19" wheels on both GTs the same size and offset? Looking for a set of cheap rims that I can use with winter tires.

Thanks,
Alex

Most of the stock 19" wheels are 8.5" in diameter. The PP wheels are a different width (9" wide fronts, and 9.5" wide rears), and the offsets are changed to 'fit' right with those different widths. I think the Ecoboost PP wheels are 9" wide all round and might be a good choice.

The staggered sizes on the GT PP wheels also mean they fit best where they were designed to go, putting a front on the rear and the offsets won't be quite right. Make rotating the tires to extend their life a bit harder.

The base wheels on a GT are 18x8 with 235/50 tires, you need to get an optional tire and wheel package to get larger rims

They are different sizing.

GTPP is

19x9
19x9.5
255/40/19 & 275/40/19

GT fitment is

18x8 sizing like DGC333 said

Ok, so I live in Mid Atlantic (Maryland) area and this is my daily driver. Would you guys recommend I go with snow/winter tires or all season tires for winter driving? ...and if so, what size will fit on my GTPP rims?

I can help with a suggestion

Nothing beats snow tires but how much do you really think you will drive in one those Northeast blizzards.

After 6 to 8 inches it's risky.

I recommended a good set of used tires and rims for winter..all seasons are a plus...check out these in the classifieds link below

If they will fit over the calipers, I would try to get a wheel as small a diameter as possible, with taller sidewall to match the stock diameter. cheaper wheels, cheaper snow tires, and the added cushion of the sidewall will allow it to flex more, which is good on slippery surfaces.

Abrupt changes in traction are the primary cause of losing control, and a tire that flexes more will have that extra bit of a buffer, especially if suspension has been modified to be more responsive on dry surfaces.

Get some of the 19x8.5" wheels from AM or something, run performance snow tires, rather than studless ice/snow tires. I'd go for 245/45R19. Or, run 255/40R19 all around on your PP rims if you're planning on getting aftermarket wheels for summer.

also, the wheels on the Black Accent Package (which I happen to have) are 19x8.5 front and rear... so someone with that package that's upgrading (I am not) might be willing to sell/trade...
