    I'd really like to get the rear rims on my 06 GP GXP, and I would like to replace them with the factory fronts (which are slightly larger). Does anyone know how this will affect the ride or if it will set off all the sensors?

    It's a common swap for people to put 18X8's on the rear to go with the fronts.

    You won't really notice any ride change.

    I'd go with some 245/45/18's all around then, just to save you money and have 30x the tire selection.

    As far as the sensors, nothing will change there aslong as you get the sensors either swapped over or buy new sensor for the new rims and get them reprogrammed to the car.
