I would put those as winter only wheels given they are only 8.5" wide.

The GT350 is 10.5/11, GT350R is 11/11.5

I would look at the GT350 replica wheels, the 6G 350R replicas, or some forgstar CF10s/CF5s

Forgeline can also make you a custom set if you have the $$

I'm running a non-staggered Forgestar CF10, 19x11, ET 56 with a 30mm spacer in the front and 305/30/19 Potenza RE-11s on all 4.

I just got them mounted last weekend and have not had them to the track yet.

They look a whole lot like the stock wheels.

Perfect. CF10s are what I wanted to run! I had them on my supercharged '13.

Wow, that's a big spacer. Is that for caliper clearance or cosmetics?

That's the approximate difference between the wheel offset on the front and rear. I wanted to be able to rotate tires for use on the track and that was the only way to do it. They are hub-centric Eibach spacers and as a mechanical engineer, there is no additional load to the wheel or to the hub.

Are they the same M14 S550 sized studs?

They are M14 x 1.5mm studs. I don't know if the lengths are different.

Good to know, I would also like to run the same square setup so I can rotate the tires.

Going to try to fix the speedo for the smaller OD wheels?

Nope. They're the track wheels and it's only off by 3mph at 65.

Oooo I missed the part about the spacer.
The spacer is only required if you want to rotate tires. You have to run the larger rear offset (+56) and make up the difference to the fronts (+27) with a spacer. As long as it's high-quality, hub-centric, then the loads into the stock studs and hubs are not any different.
