    Hello all. i am new to the forum, so hello to everyone. I have a 98 GTP, jut turned 232,000 miles and still screams despite the fact it needs some good lovin with new wheel bearings, HUD, supercharger coupler, and hood and windshield ( thank you to the bambi I hit at 65mph ). I just bought a 2007 GXP tonight. And noticed the tires are kinda getting down to needing to be replaced by spring. Spendy $$. But as for my question I was wondering if the stock wheels from my 98 gtp with 235/65/16's ( i know, not stock and do not fit my old gtp. I got a cheap set of studless winter tires to put on my wifes car for these rims) would fit on my 07 GXP. They are not much bigger or wider. but i am having trouble finding some info on if they'll fit over those pretty red calipers and get me through the snow here til spring. No sense in wasting money on tires for rims which I cannot use. Thanks to any and all for any info.

    i pulled 07 stock rims off. tried wheel/rim combo as written above. didn't work. the damn large calipers and rotors were just a smidge too big for my old stock 98 rims. now a trip to the tire store for some more expensive tires, again. it never ends. oh well, it still looks good.

    Which wheels are they? IIRC there is one set of wheels from 97-03 doesn't fit and the rest do.

    I have 16" torque stars on my 04.
