Wheel spacers for my gxp?

[muchpain79]

Hello, I was wanting to put wheel spacers on my 05 grand prix gxp with the 18" alcoa rims to bring them out flush. Does anyone know what sizes i'll need? I was thinking 1" for the fronts and 1.25" or 1.50" for the rears? If anyone can chime in on this I would really appreciate it!

Should be the same front and back, unless the wheels are different offsets.

GXP's run 18x8 up front and 18x7 in the rear, both with different offsets.

You'll need longer studs for sure if you are serious about the spacers, may even need to roll the fenders to clear the rear.

Oh, my bad. Misread gxp as gtp. Lol

Not to sway your opinion, but for the amount of money you should spend on wheel spacers that large, you could get a decent set of used rims with the offset you are looking for. For your sake, please dont get the wheel spacers off ebay

Those are big spacers ..and you have a V8 over the front axle. I'd reconsider.

What If I just put 1'' in the back and nothing on the front? I just hate how the back seems further in than the front.

You could just get two more front stock Alcoas and call it a day.

Not 04+, but I put 25mm spacers on my junk. Might help your decision.....

And you don't need longer studs with wheel spacers; you may need to shorten yours.

If they are those kind of spacers, then yes, he will need to shorten them. If it's just a plate with holes, he will need longer studs.

True, but these spacers max out at 1/2", which is fine.
