GT vs v6 turn radius - 5/5/2008 9:09:05 AM    DBovine   Posts: 174 Joined: 4/20/2006 From: Sault Ste. Marie, ON Status: offline did I read somewhere that the V6s have a tighter turning radius than the GTs? And that I can make my v6 turning radius the same as a GT if I get a GT part? I only ask because through my research the 17x9 wheel with a 275 tread width was not suppose to rub on the new edge cars however mine does slightly when the wheel is completely cranked over. Its not a big deal but if I can correct the steering so that if someone else drives my car, it wont rub, Id like to do that. _____________________________ K&N Filter, Black Bumper Insert, Shorty Antenna, FFRP Shift knob.

Not all of them are the same width (even though the numbers say they are). Also has a lot to do with the offset of the wheel you are using. _____________________________ ~Matt 2000 Roush #5004 M112 SCd (in reply to DBovine) Post #: 2

Not the 99-04 turning radius? _____________________________ Chris (in reply to RyansQuick6) Post #: 5

Marie, ON Status: offline The wheels are 17x9 03 Cobras from American Muscle with the Sumitomo tires.  if they rub a bit, then they rub a bit. Its very seldom that I ever have the wheel cranked that far and knowing about it, it should happen even less. I must have misread something about the turning radius before. _____________________________ K&N Filter, Black Bumper Insert, Shorty Antenna, FFRP Shift knob.
