I've got a 2003 GT, and I was wonderin' if anybody had the 17" x 10.5" rims with 315's all around?  I'm not too worried about the back, but I'm more concerned about the front.  I don't mind the occasional rubbing if I'm making a hard turn into a driveway or parking lot.  Also, does it track decent enough or will I constantly be fighting to keep it in a straight line?  I don't want to go with different sizes, front to back, so I can still perform a proper rotation.  The wheels I'm looking at are on the American Muscle website, and my only options for the 17" were 9's or 10.5.  I like the 10.5's because of the deep dish look. I'll be lowering it an inch or so once I get the wheels.

Also, has anybody gotten the Hypercoated wheels from this site?  They look pretty cool, but I want some comments from someone who's got them.

yeah 315's will not even come close to fitting in the front. I have seen some 9" deep dish though that would work for the front.

Where have you seen the 9" deep dish rims?  The ones on American Muscle don't appear to be deep dish.

Might want to find out what any of the E-Street Prepared autocrossers running this car are doing.  SCCAforums.com is a place to start.  Maybe give Sam Strano a call or send him a PM (he is a member here).

Thanks.  I did some more research and found that 17x10.5 will not fit on the front.  I'll probably go with the 17x9's.  Does anybody have the 17x9's from American Muscle?  I'd like to know if they're deep dish.  It's hard to tell from the pictures.
