I'm switching from the base GT wheels to the Performance Pack GT wheels. Will I experience more wheel gap since the base model has different springs?

Thanks for any help.

Should be less gap since a larger diameter.
I was thinking it may increase the gap because the tires have less sidewall. The stock tires are 235/50/18 and these are 255/40/19 and 275/40/19.

But I have no idea what I'm talking about lol.

10mm vs. the one inch larger wheels, though. On the rears the 275 vs 255 will change the diameter, too.

ride heights are the same regardless, so it'll look like any old stock GTPP.

The stock 18 inch GT tires are the same overall diameter as the front GT PP 19 inch tires, the rear GT PP 19 inch tires are 0.3 inches larger.

correct thus keeping the speedo in a proper range without drastic change.

Hi guys, I have some PP wheels I want to switch to my Base GT... Unfortunately I don't have the black lugs. Will my base lugs work in the interim? I promise I searched before I asked but maybe I suck at searching forums. Thanks all
