Default GT Convertable Wheels
We just bought a new 2005 PT GT Convertable Electric Blue with all the fixin's... From 4 wheel disc brakes to the high output turbo engine.

We want to replace the stock 5 spoke alloy wheels. What would be the recommended size wheel with offset along with tires to match to keep the overall tire size the same so it doesn't screw up the speedo.

I believe the stock wheels are 17x6 and tires 205/50/17, but when doing the conversions.

I was told this was the best site to get info for my new GT... so don't let me down guys!!

Sweet! Thanks a bunch... do I have to be careful with what wheels I buy so they will fit properly and not hit the brake calipers without running spacers (don't want that)

did that and all I get is tire size... wheel size is my problem w/ the correct offset... after doing some more research, I get the offest to be around 40mm ?? The brake calipers are like a 1/4 of an inch away from the stock wheel right now... and that is somewhat concerning...

Try; (www.tirerack.com) If you search specifically for the PT GT the wheels that come up should fit! Call to confirm. Since you are replacing your wheels I would recommend going to an 18" and a spoke design that will clear a big brake kit! Always think of the future!

those Empire wheels are pretty, almost moreso than the stock gt rims.

Just went through a similar exercise with my GT. Offset is +40. I am putting on 17 x 7 Enkeis with 235/45-17 tires.
