Wheels question

[SHOEMAKER]

Just bought a 2019 gt that came with old school 18x8.5 saleen reps. Why do all websites say they do not fit. They make the car look like a hot wheels and I love it. I just want more tire for the rear. Thinking more 18x10.

Great looking set up! Thanks for sharing.

I'm unsure of what you are asking here? Do you want a different tire size, or what? The wheels obviously fit these cars, because they are on yours. I also run 18's on mine front and rear while most people with S550's run 19s or 20s.

Maybe they won’t fit the cars with Brembo brakes up front.

I guess I really didn't ask a question. It just seems like there is so many wheel and tire combos and relying on a website to tell me it fits or not is driving me crazy. But I like the look of them I might just order a black set of the same brand with a 10 rear.

Why do all websites say they do not fit.

Because most general wheel website do not have the capability to test all possible combinations of wheels they carry and vehicles. They basically just try to match with OEM specs, and if they don't match then they say it doesn't fit to cover their butts.

Try to go on tireack.com and spec out a 11" wide wheel for an Ecoboost and it's almost going to laugh in your face for even trying because the OEM size is 8.5" wide. But we all know they can fit just fine.
