Racestar Front Runners

[bones5.0]

I recently bought a pair of rear racestar recluse wheels on marketplace. I was looking around to see if I could find any front runners to match. I found these on summit racing which is exactly what I have and they a 5x114.3. For some reason on vehicle specification it says these won’t fit my car, I have a 2019 GT Premium (not a pp car). Could anybody clarify these would fit, and if not why?

I think you’ll need an 18” front runner if you have Brembo brakes. I run an 18X5 out front on my 2019 Bullitt.

I don’t have brembos, which is why i’m confused as to why it wouldn’t fit.

What size rotor do you have? I have mine on the car right now and it’s on the lift, so let me go take a pic for you to show you what clearance looks like. Stby.

Here is what clearance on an 18X5 front runner looks like. Hopefully you can compare them to your car to see if there’s anything that might not allow the 17” wheel to fit. I‘m going to guess that the calipers (even on a non Brembo car) might be the issue.

Possibly, as far as brakes and rotors go it’s all stock on my car. I was just wanting to go with a 17x7 so I could run a smaller street tire rather than a skinny.

I would assume the caliper will rub the rim. You can grind down the caliper a few mm to fit. If you really want them that bad. I did with my Brembo to fit 17 inch rims I already had.

I have brand new 18x5 recluses in boxes still if interested. As rears

Possibly, looks like a spacer might work as well depending on fitment could be an offset issue. I’ll look into it, thanks for your input!

What wheel options are available for the 18x5 and what did you go with?

I have the Forgestar D5 18.5 front runners and 17X10 beadlock rears.
