Hello again everyone, I am putting new rims on my gt, wondering if 15" rims would be too big, also wondering if 4x100 is the correct pattern size thanks

15" will fit fine. I have 15x7 front and rear. the bolt pattern is 4x100.

Just a thought here, mind you, you can literally buy most any wheel, especially one you like, then have it powder coated with a blue stripe on the outer rim to match your paint. Again, this is just a thought.....

I just saw this thing on TV earlier today.
Beugler Pinstriper Tool for lining/pinstriping with paint

Made really nice strips on wheel rims.

Moderator Note: Austin, your two duplicate posts on wheels and gauges have been deleted. Please only post once per question, and keep the posts on-topic, and in the correct Forum. And before you start a new thread, please take at least a few minutes and do either a search, or even look through the related Forum headings to see if you can easily find an answer to your question. Wheel questions are probably the most often duplicated, and simple answers like bolt pattern are readily at hand without starting a new thread.

New folks here are given some leeway in finding their way, and some good advice can be found at

Thank you for your cooperation
