Right now I have the unfortunate look of spare tire rims with hubcaps over them, they don't look bad..but who wants to deal with that forever?

Anyhow..Will they fit? :th_nervous: ]]> Muse http://www.grandprixforums.net/1998-trans-am-rims-fit-2008-gp-36200.html http://www.grandprixforums.net/will-07-gxp-wheels-fit-05-grand-prix-gt-35939.html Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:32:26 GMT Will they fit???

I've also Googled for these without a whole lot of success.

I'm replacing the rear 7" wide rims with two more 8" rims. I went to Advanced Auto yesterday for lug nuts, and all they could supply was the shorter ones for the 7" wide rims.

I just got off the phone with a local dealership, and they quoted me $13 per lug nut for the 8" rims. (That's "PER LUG NUT"). WTF ??

Does anyone have a source for these or know of a replacement lug I can use?

Thanx in advance. ]]> funkenmiester http://www.grandprixforums.net/gxp-lug-nut-help-front-wheels-35874.html http://www.grandprixforums.net/will-these-fit-35740.html Fri, 27 Aug 2010 18:10:32 GMT I'm getting a set of winter tires for my Grand Prix GT. They're 16" steelies and I'm looking to get some tires.

Will 225/70/R16 fit?

While i was at the tire shop i started to look around and saw some tires for my grand prix. Now when i was there i saw some wide tires, i know the stock tire size for my grand prix is 225/55r17 and what i started wondering is if i could go wider and how wide i could go width wise with the stock rims. 235 or 245 would be the width i am looking for but not sure if i need to get new wheels or just get the tires and mount it on my stockies can anyone explain if this can be done or why not. thanks :confused: ]]> Whitehispanic http://www.grandprixforums.net/so-i-my-local-tire-shop-35725.html http://www.grandprixforums.net/draglites-qtp-35719.html Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:50:31 GMT So here is my new setup, I think it looks sick too. Im so happy with the way it fits. Here is the setup. 15x8 w- 5.5BS draglites with Hoosier QTP's 26x11.5x15, 11.5 section width that is. I also have 12" brakes on the front, so I had to use a 1" hub adapter for them to clear. I could have used less say 3/4 but whats another 1/4 inch. They do stick out about 1" from the fender, (tread). I can turn pretty far before any rubbing too. This is going to save me so much weight and improve my ET dramaticly. The package weighed in at 28lbs each and my current rims/tire weigh 54lb, each.... Let me know what you think.. I like it!

I have stock rims and in a couple weeks I am going to buy some new tires BUT I am not rich and soon it will be winter which means I wont be racing my whip around. So what are reasonable priced good overall tires?

I'd like to go to a 17" wheel, but when I do find one I'm not sure what wheel width is correct and, more importantly, what tire will fit this wheel without causing rubbing issues. If necessary, I can stick with a stock 16" wheel, but the main thing is I want a five spoke bronze wheel. I see that Enkei makes one, but again, I don't know which ones will fit. If anybody happens to have a bronzemetallic GP out there with bronze wheels on it, I'd sure appreciate seeing some pics. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. ]]> mltyplx http://www.grandprixforums.net/what-bronze-wheels-will-fit-my-gp-35614.html http://www.grandprixforums.net/gxp-rims-35611.html Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:19:00 GMT I haven't pulled a wheel off of my 05 GXP yet but I believe that the front rims are on the rear of my car and the rear rims are on the front with the factory tire sizes on the car. Does the rims say anything to tell where they go? I know on my 88 GT Fiero they do.


Would this have hurt my car?

Thank you in advance.

I am planning on getting new rims but I am thinking 17s for the mere fact of a little more sidewall. I will not be doing any racing with this car for a couple years (well any autocrossing).

Is there a noticable difference in a 17 or an 18 as far as the ride goes?

I realize the tire affects the ride and the sidewall height but I am talking a simple +1 or +2 type of conversion.

Really not sure what wheels yet I have looked at alot and haven't found any I like yet ]]> blazinzuk http://www.grandprixforums.net/those-running-17s-bigger-35588.html http://www.grandprixforums.net/235-55-17-bullitts-35537.html Sat, 21 Aug 2010 18:32:13 GMT Will i be able to get away with a 235 55 17 tire on a set of Bullitts? im lowered right now and running 225 45 18 with about a half inch to spare...

Now with winter coming up and the need for new tires, I don't want to spend the money to get a new set of winters when I need some good all seasons as well so I'm compromising with these.

What do you think and what size of tires would you get?

I have a 2007 Grand Prix GT SE.
