can anybody tell me what the bolt pattern and the offset in millimeters of the Ford GT race wheels is? i have found some aftermarket wheels that i am considering buying and they can more or less be made in any size that i want and i want them to be as close to OE as possible....
 
Freddy,
I am unfamiliar with what GT "race wheels" you want the information for.
My OE 5-spoke wheels have been on the track many times so I could consider my standard wheels as race wheels.
Likewise many GTs have been on the track with their OE optional BBS forged wheels. Are these wheels you want the offset specs for? Or are there some other wheels you are looking for dimensions for?
If the forged BBS wheels are what you are looking for, as recommended by Rocketman in another post, I would suggest calling BBS in Georgia and asking them.
 
 
^^^^ - Thanks Ralphie :thumbsup that is what i needed.

i have the optional BBS forged wheel and am considering having Hawk build me a set of their Peregrine I wheels in 18X9.5 in the front and 19X12 in the rear. my wider Bridgestones would fit better on these...

Great! Keep us owners posted on your new Hawk's.

Ralphie's on the road yet still knows where all the information is located. Very helpful pointback Ralphie!!
 
Where is the offset measured? I get the backspacing.

Don,

It is the distance from centerline to the hub mounting surface. If the dimension is positive, the hub mounting surface is towards the outside of the wheel. If the dimension is negative, the hub mounting surface is towards the inside of the wheel.

Thanks.

Going to Dupont Sat? Probably rain.
 
Yes. I'll be in either the Cobra or GT500. I just sent my airbag to Shelby for rehab, so no GT for me this weekend.
