Well, I've decided to get a set of GFG wheels for my '99 Esprit. Don't worry, I'll be keeping the factory wheels for a "return to normalcy" at a later date!

Anyway, it seems that 18's on the front and 19's on the rear is the way to go. Is that right? What is the bolt pattern, offset, and tire size I should use?

Finally if anyone has found that "perfect" tire, let me know. Otherwise, I'll probably go with Michelin Pilot's since I've had great luck on other vehicles.

Thanks,
Jeff

From the Esprit factfile www.espritfactfile.com
if you click on parts and then road wheels.

The bolt pattern is 5x108mm
The inset has been +19mm in the front and +17mm in the rear for all of the V8's.

The wheels are hub centric, so the hub diameters need to match.
