Status: offline does this look ok to you? i'm not good with wheel and tires. ordered four 17x9 wheels. backs look like they are ok. just wondering if this is gonna look ok with a tire on it. i thought the offset might be wrong but it cant possibly go in any further because then it would hit the strut. other people use 17x9 on the front.

First off its kind of a different angle in which you took the picture...It wont look bad it just looks weird without tires....and it might look diff than the pics of the others because GT's have ground effects that flatten out the sides
