Hi. If they are OEM, they are 18" front/19" rear and YEP, they will fit.

I have them on my Sapphire RT/10 as well. Look amazing, THIS was the wheel the Gen II should have came with! Going with a set powdercoated black for my GTS.

I have had several wheels, these are ultra light, very strong forged one piece wheels. Granted they may not be same level as race wheels but for everyday driving and track day weekends this wheel is it! Plus you can fit the 6 piston Stoptech behind it with zero issues!

Few pics of my RT/10 at the Round Up at ART and HArris Hill Raceway.

BTW I am also running 295/345 PS2 tire set up. No rub, all good. And everything fits fine, mine has KWv2 coilovers and Stoptech 6 pistons as well.

Do you realize that by putting the 19" tires on the rear, you willbe affecting your overall gear ratio? The rims may look better, but your car will feel slower unless you have already changed the rear gear ratio or are planning to do so. I would want to install 3.55 gears or at the very least 3.33 unless you have atleast 550rwhp. Don't forget you will want to recalibrate your speedo once you make the tire change. Just some added thought provoking insight!

It will throw your speedo off 5mph across the board it seems (speedo vs Passport 9500 {GPS}). As far as feeling slower...I'll pull 3 or 4 plug wires to drop it down under 550 hp and let you know how it feels.

I am in the process of a similar wheel swap. 1) Which gear set would give a slight boost (reduction) over stock? 2) Which method of leveling are you settled on? Springs, caps, or both?

I'm running stock suspension - Kurt has the KW V2 shocks on his. We're both running the 295's up front. No rubbing on either the Gen 1 or 2.

As far as gears I don't know. My gen1 is very modified and the "taller" ratios is actually helpful to me. But I have not noticed any difference other than the traction gains of the PS Cups on the rear.

I agree with you, I am running the stock 3.07 gears and it did great on the track, and outrun some other cars with 3.55's on the tollway... well it was close...

I MAY go to a 3.33 with a detroit after the motor build just for a little extra seat of the pants acceleration. Don't want to hurt the all out top speed or the 6th gear cruising with 3.55 gears.

what are you guys running for tires? sizes, brand etc.

I have the 295/345 combo in a PS2, Eddie I hink is running the 295 PS2 fronts with 345 PS Cups rear.

I am going with all PS Cups after I burn thru the PS2, may as well have the traction, not like I drive in the rain in a ******* RT much!

Just put a set of the six spokes on the GTS. Much better than the previous stockers.:)
Fitted them with the Nitto NT05 285 up front and NT05 Drag Radials 345's on the rear. No worries about the gearing with the TT setup.
