Default GP on Saleens...

I know theres been pictures floating arround, but most are now gone. And I am still deciding, although are leaning more towards bullits (getting them with tires for $250 - those are 17x8 w/ 24 offset... vs saleens w/ tires for $1000 - those are 18x9 w/ 36 or 30 offset).. So, Im looking for pics of 97-03 GPs with 18' Saleens. If you guys have any, post em up. Thanks.

ps. would be nice if you guys found black gp's

you wont fit either of those wheels without rolling your fenders.

This one is done proper... rims, tires, roof rails etc... perfect combination. It almost looks rear wheel drive for some reason, should have been.

Wow. Those are damn sexy, Silver. The gp is almost exactly what I want to do to mine. I was planning on getting saleens as soon as spring comes, I have gtx tips sitting in my room (which kills me), and I've always wanted a gen2...

I was kinda looking for a set of 17" saleens *that would fit alright* if they made them but those don't look too big like some of the other 18s I've seen... They're 18x9, right? Did you have them on before you rolled the fenders? like, would they have rubbed before the roll do you know?

04-05 were the 3.8 supercharged. Before that they just came n/a and after they went to the 3.5l, the 3.9l, and the 5.3 in the SS.

sweet so i must be the 1% matt5112 likes

miriV - the only time i was on I55 was when i went to Branson in september that's all i can remember.

i rolled the fender lip before i bought the wheels cuz the gtp was going to be lower that week and din't want to deal with all the hassel. those are 255/45 tires btw. after the car was lowered the front sides were rubbing on the plastic wheel well lining that's cuz the tires are brand new. doesn't rub any more cuz the tire have some mileage on and worn worn down little bit.

on the 04 monte that are supercharged are intimidator ss (black), dale jr (red with black stripes on both sides) and the rest of the ss are optional.

05- tony steward (black with home depot color trim on the bottom) and all ss model are supercharged.
