Wheels & Tires Question - 96 GTS with 99 ACR Wheels

[GALA-96-GTS]

Let me prefix this post with a disclaimer... I am about as useful as **** on a bull when it comes to cars. I thank god that there are intelligent car guys on here that are willing to help people like me out!!!

With that being said, here are my questions. First, will the 99 ACR BBS wheels and 335x30x18/275x35x18 tires fit on my 96 GTS? I am 99.9999% sure they will fit like a glove, but I just want to verify with the experts before I buy.

The second question is about the appearance of the BBS wheels. Which style of wheels do you prefer; the stock 96 GTS or the BBS?

Here is the link to the 99 ACR wheels and tires for sale on eBay

Thanks for your feedback!

It will always come down to what you prefer.Everyone has their favorites!I feel I have the perfect wheels for my car!I do like the gts wheels,which I had on my car before the current wheels!

I like the stock wheels also

agree with grcforce, it's pretty much what you prefer, I think both wheels are great looking

I like wheels that are the easiest to keep clean. I have the sidewinders on my coupe and love them. The ACR's look like a PITA to clean

I love the looks of the ACR wheels....but they ARE a pain to keep clean....

come over and clean mine a few times before you make your decision

I'll give $2k for the ACR wheels. Plenty of $$ to buy you a set of stock '96 wheels!

ACR wheels are actually quite easy to clean if they are CHROME!!

I love my BBS wheels and would never go back but I agree with
the crowd - they are a pain to keep clean. If you want to go that
route you may want to upgrade to the EBCs and save your self some
elbow grease. Keep in mind too that these wheels are no longer
being made so down the line if you damage one you might not be
able to get a replacement.

I bid on those wheels this week (item is a re-list) I went to about $2800 and they didn't meet the reserve. Good luck, they look like a nice set.

BTW, I think they would look absolutly great on a B&W like yours (or mine!).

Nice pic Matt...

I like the 99/02 18" rims but i am tempted with the new 06 coupe 5 spokes (not copperhead)

ACR BBS wheels are the best hands down IMO. They will look awesome on any gen Viper.

Matt, love your car with those wheels.
