I agree with u
first off i would like to say, i am just learning about the opel and its little subtlety. So the things i do might not always be the right thing, if u know what i mean, trial an error has been the experience so far. Learned most from this site, which is great.
I am under the impression that it would depend on your choice of suspension parts. meaning the springs. If u have stock springs, i think filling the wheel well would be impossible since the GT stands so high. if u lower the body with newer suspension then that should be very possible with almost any size rim, just need a little larger diameter tire than stock. There is a article with a lot of detail and sugesstions of tire size can be found in the blitz ad board.
I went with 17/7 rims and ultra low profile tire 205/40 w/a width of about 8" and diameter of 23.5". stock is 23.4 roughly so the odo meter wont be off. Will post a pic for comparison reasons. I am still working on the body. so u have to excuse the cool looking gray. I know drive ability/handling wont be like stock or even better, but it was a look that i wanted to go for. since 90% of my driving will be off the track and under 65mph. notice how i said 90%, i am sure as I get the motor built up, i will perform other driving techniques.
then suspension/tire/wheel choice will need to change.
If interested i dealt with a gentlemen from TSW, Nigel I believe was his name, he has some experience with opels, so he is very familiar with our limits.
hope that helps.
