new Impala SS 18"s on gtp.

[VDV18]

all GP GXP wheels are staggerd. not sure the sizes of bonnie GXP's, but they do look good

Not ALL GP GXP's have staggared rims/tires.

That guy th_laugh-pointup has 18X8 Alcoa's all the way around.

IMO, the staggard look is just dumb.

 

[Bio248]

all bonnie wheels are 18x7 all the way around, not 18x8.

why not run staggered? your not going to corner good either way so why not at least have less rolling weight for straight line?

its not a look.... the reason GM made the front tires wider than the rears is to help deal with understeer.

but if your talking staggerd rim size (18s up front and 19s in the rear for example) then yes, that does look dumb

No, not really.
Looks pretty fukin sic if you ask me.

 

[Odi]

would look better with non-staggered wheels. just sayin.

 

[chunky]

staggered width? yes.
staggered diameter? noo.

 

[Bio248]

i think that car would look much better with the rear size up front too.

is that a retina scan to open the gas door? hay-zues christ.

No, its from a C5-R

i just realized from your sig, i watched your exhaust sound vids and you racing the mustang on youtube like 400 times when i was figuring out what pieces i wanted to use in my exhaust system.

That car is fukin sick.

And by sick I mean I just threw up in my mouth a little.

 

[JoRoW99]

IIRC the new camaros have staggered wheels.

 

[Remnant King]

I am actually really digging those ss rims on the grand prix

 

[TLSheff]

No, its from a C5-R

They should put it back on the C5-R.... thats just nasty looking (not in a good way)

Agreed with others, staggered width = :th_thumbsup-wink:, staggered height = not on these cars

I'm aware of their reasoning, however it all depends on how you drive the car. I'm not trying to pull better track times with my GXP, I drive to work and to pick my kids up from school.

So 18X8's with 255's are exactly what I'm looking for, and if I do say so, look much better than the 7" rims in the rear. It's all in what your needs are. Just my $0.02.

 

[JoRoW99]

If you dont need the traction then why get a GXP?

lol,, so what did you end up going with?

Why not? Modding a car isn't my thing, so to have the stock 5.3 is nice. It's not like I'm going to fly off the road since I've got 8" rims with 255's in the rear compared to the 7" with 225's. :th_eyesrolling:

3" single sided, 24" Hooker maxflow muffler and a 3" resonator. it sounds like a honda lol, almost no rasp at all though so i'm quite happy with it. YouTube - ‪3" custom exhaust gtp no rasp pics and vid‬‏

once it's tuned and i can enjoy the new go-fast goodies i'll get some rolling sounds clips.
