I'm ready to purchase some wheels for my 2000 GT. I want to get the 17x9 for front and 17x10.5 for the rears. Any problem with these fitting or rubbing the wheel wells or anywhere? What do you guys think about this size and fit?

Thanks in advance!

Excuse my ignorance, but me or my teenage kids don't know what AFS means? :shrug
yeah whats afs? it looks like a good thing
my cousin got those on hit 2000 GT and it looked awesome. No rubbing, i believe he had 255 tires in the front and 315 tires in the back with no rubbing

I wonder if the car can still be lowered with these wheels/tires?
Sorry here's the link, I thought they made an FR500 replica don't see it but their stuff is very high quality for a reasonable price, lots in the Cobra community use them:bigthumbsup

these wheels look in credible...will the 18 x9 front and 18 x 10 rears work on a stock height 01 GT w/o rubbing etc?
Everything fits at stock height, it's when you start lowering them that you get rubbing. And you get rubbing where you wouldn't suspect it either. The rears in 17's with 315's clear with room to spare. 18's with 295's are the same way on a lowered car. Most 305's clear with no problems as well, but I know a couple people who had to roll their fenders on lowered cars with 305's on 18's.

The front is actually where you'll end up rubbing. Once I was lowered, my 9" front wheels rubbed. Not on the fenders, inner fenders or anywhere else you'd expect. It rubbed the inside of the wheels on the swaybar at full lock.
