new member with a gxp from ohio

**omaralaoui** · 03-03-2013

evening gentlemen , my name is omar and i am new to this forum and grand prix generally .
this is the 2005 gxp i picked up with about 60k miles a few months ago after selling my truck .

it is completely stock and is currently at the transmission shop getting a transmission overhaul . now as soon as i get it back , i think i am finally going to get a few things done as soon as i get a hang of the gxp customization world .
for reference , these were a couple of the cars i owned in the past couple of years and customed myself .

my truck , the day i sold it :

the car i owned before that

Welcome, nice gxp! the truck looked fun too

**omaralaoui** · 03-04-2013

thank you ! also quick question . i know the bolt pattern on 300c and charger is the same , is there any way to do the standard staggered set up on these cars as in wider rears than fronts ?

**lsxftw** · 03-04-2013

if you put wider tires on the back its going to drive like crap because it is FWD, right now it should have wider tires on the front to help it drive decent - is that what your asking?

**omaralaoui** · 03-04-2013

well i know it has 18x8 up front and 18x7 in the rear , but id like to have wider tire in the rear or at least the same width all around .i think the offset is 40 and 50 correct ? so +18 would stick out way off

thank you guys !! can t wait to meet some of you Ohioans !!!

**Fivefingerdeathpunch** · 03-04-2013

If you want to keep the stock rims and run the same tire, get a set of 245/45/18's. Tons of guys would rather have the same tire size so you can rotate them like normal.

GM says that the smaller rim/tire in the back will help with handling, but a you'd likely never notice a thing. So just run the same size all the way around and enjoy it.
