I know the gxp has 18x8 rims in the front and the back rims are 18x7.. has anyone put 18x8 on all four wheels what was the outcome , sound silly, but over time there could be/have one....

When people do that they also just switch to a 245/45/18 to make the tire selection more than triple.

The 255/40's are a pricey tire and not much selection compared to 245/45.
 


a lot of people run 18X8's on the front and back, 97-03 people included. not really any reason not too if you can find a decent set for a good price.

Yeah I'm just debating on switching to all around 18x8 and keep the same tire sizes 45 in front and 50 in the back ... That's one thing I will not change ..

Just get another set of front wheels.

Run the 18x8's all around that way you can rotate tires like a normal person.

I ran 275/40/18 NT555R's on my GXP.

They didn't rub at all with factory struts/springs.

If you want to keep the stock tire sizes in the back then you have zero reason to get 8" wheels for the back. The whole purpose of getting 2 more 8" wheels is to run the same size tires on all 4.
