Dear Forum,


                  Here is the situation.  A friend has a GT5S that is 
about to have a new engine installed in the next couple of weeks.   He 
wants to drive it to Houston.  He has fifteen inch tires that were 
manufactured , IIRC, in the last century.....     He has not had any 
luck finding fifteen inch tires.

                  So,  I am taking one of my Panteras.  The other one 
needs an engine rebuild and won't go.   The stay at home Pantera's 
seventeen inch wheels (9x17 and 11x17) could be used if they'll fit.

                  Theoretically, will these wheels, which have the 
correct backspacing and offset for a normal Pantera fit on the GT5S? 
Obviously, the ultimate test is to physically try them on.
