What Bronze Wheels Will Fit My GP?

Man, I have been looking here and at all the wheel sites I can find for a set of bronze wheels to go on my bronzemetallic GP. 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.
 


bolt pattern: 5x115 or 5x114.3

hub bore: 70.3mm or bigger

width: less than 9" wide

offset: between +35mm and +45mm

tires: 235 or 245 wide tires with a sidewall that matches stock overall diameter


if you follow that they should fit no problem.

Thanks very much for the help. I'll see if I can finally find some wheels and tires that fit all those parameters.
 


technically they should fit. youre gonna have to make sure the hub bore is correct and that they'll clear the calipers.

I'm not sure what wheels you're referring to. As for clearing the calipers, I am a real rookie here and wouldn't even know how to go about doing that, but thanks anyhow.

I didn't see anything in there in bronze, but thanks for taking time to reply. I think what I really need is for somebody with a 2007 Grand Prix to say I have these specific bronze wheels with these specific tires and they fit my car perfectly. That way I know a particular wheel and tire combination will fit with no problems. Guess that's too much to hope for?
 


if youre really interested in a set of bronze wheels just go through a wheel dealer. make sure you follow the specs i gave you and you should be fine. youre going to spend a bunch of money though.

Define "a bunch". ;+) Seriously, I've seen some nice bronze wheels out there for around $150.00 each. Then I figure around $100.00 per new tire, so about a grand for four new wheels and tires. Does that sound reasonable?
 
depends what wheels you want and what tires you want. i spent $700 in tires alone on my last set of wheels and the set of wheels i just bought without tires was $1100.
 
OK, now at least I know what you mean by "a bunch of money". No, I will definitely not be spending a bunch of money for these new wheels and tires. My problem is after I've had them on for six months or so I may even want a different car. ;+)
