GTO with 19" Wheels
I purchased a 2004 GTO last year and am deciding to buy either 18" or 19" wheels. I'm looking for a local owner of a late model GTO in Southern California that has 19" wheels that would be willing to contact or meet with me to see how the 19s feel on the car. I have read all the posts about this subject, but haven't seen a GTO in person with 19" wheels. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

GTO 19" Wheels
Yes, I decided to go with BC Forged HCS02 wheels. Brushed bronze outers with Matte black centers. Custom 2 piece built specifically for my car. 19X8.5 et 43 fronts, 19X9.5 et 54 rears. Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 245/35/19 and 265/35/19 tires. Also purchased CTSV 6/4 piston yellow calipers and the Bonhams brackets.

Also have purchased the Pedders Extreme Xa coil over kit and various suspension items to do the entire front and rear of the car all at the same time. I have already installed a custom ground EPS/Cam Motion cam and WCCH ported 243 stage 2 heads. Cam is 602/602 lift, 218/226 duration on a 116.5 LSA. Have not tuned it yet but it runs and drives very nice, no issues but can't jump on it yet. I wanted something with a ton of torque and with a realistic duration and LSA so I pass smog.

I have some CTSV 6/4 Calipers also and they are really nice (2018 Cadillac Parts).
Tell me how much room you have with them on the 19" wheels vs the 18" rims.

GTO 19" Wheels
Hi Tom. I went from the factory 17" wheels to the 19's so I have no experience with 18" wheel clearance. There is a lot of room with the 19" wheels though.
