Maybe - same PCD and centre bore - don't know about offset though - you'll need at least a 35 offset IMO or you MAY not clear the calipers.


did some detective work.

i guess they are the same.

question is would they clear my wings ?

The above post was in relation to FTO type fitments on a GTO - Theres no way a 265 width tyre/rim will fit on an FTO, Seb.

Well when I say no way - I guess you could put some serious spacers on there (30mm) and roll the arches to prevent scrubbing but performance will be affected.

good luck finding a sidewall profile percentage of 265mm small enough to fit in the arches.
