    Can anybody tell me if this particular wheel/tire combo would fit on a 99 GP GTP?

    http://www.americanmuscle.com/hyperg...1011-stag.html

    Also, if they do fit, the pros and cons of the wheel and tire combo.

    Thanks a bunch

    Staggered wheels on a FWD is retarded.

    Also 10" wide rears would likely stick out a good bit and look even dumber.

    I don't think they'll work, it's too big of a wheel..

    The tires themselves are pretty massive.

    Would look awesome if they did though..

    those are pretty much way too big.

    also, i agree that a staggered setup will be stupid.

    They are both bullits... color is different... why different on the offsets? Did the 05+ 17s change offsets or one of these aftermarkets or something else???

    Woops just read the "05+ change offsets."

    My wheels are takeoffs from a 99-04. They have lower offset.

    if you want a bigger bullit, aftermarket 18x8.5's and 18x9's fit. just make sure they are the 05+ offset.
