Thread: GP on Saleens...

I know theres been pictures floating arround, but most are now gone. And I am still deciding, although are leaning more towards bullits (getting them with tires for $250 - those are 17x8 w/ 24 offset... vs saleens w/ tires for $1000 - those are 18x9 w/ 36 or 30 offset).. So, Im looking for pics of 97-03 GPs with 18' Saleens. If you guys have any, post em up. Thanks.

ps. would be nice if you guys found black gp's

you wont fit either of those wheels without rolling your fenders.

rolling fenders isnt a problem, im down for that. i just want to see how the saleens look compared to bullits.

the gtp wasn't lower at the time these pics were taken, but i did rolled the fender cuz it's going to be lower later. both wheels are 18x9 with 255/45.

Silver, the last pic is absolute WIN.... you have 2 veryyyyy sweet cars.

makes me want to get a monte

This one is done proper... rims, tires, roof rails etc... perfect combination. It almost looks rear wheel drive for some reason, should have been.

Silver i think i saw your monte on I55 last summer.. Sweet ride.

Wow. Those are damn sexy, Silver. The gp is almost exactly what I want to do to mine. I was planning on getting saleens as soon as spring comes, I have gtx tips sitting in my room (which kills me), and I've always wanted a gen2...

I was kinda looking for a set of 17" saleens *that would fit alright* if they made them but those don't look too big like some of the other 18s I've seen... They're 18x9, right? Did you have them on before you rolled the fenders? like, would they have rubbed before the roll do you know?

which montes came supercharged?

04+ I believe

sweet so i must be the 1% matt5112 likes

miriV - the only time i was on I55 was when i went to Branson in september that's all i can remember.

i rolled the fender lip before i bought the wheels cuz the gtp was going to be lower that week and din't want to deal with all the hassel. those are 255/45 tires btw. after the car was lowered the front sides were rubbing on the plastic wheel well lining that's cuz the tires are brand new. doesn't rub any more cuz the tire have some mileage on and worn worn down little bit.

on the 04 monte that are supercharged are intimidator ss (black), dale jr (red with black stripes on both sides) and the rest of the ss are optional.

05- tony steward (black with home depot color trim on the bottom) and all ss model are supercharged.

I have Saleens that are lowered with SSC and i didn't have to roll any fenders. Here's the link to the ClubGP thread on Saleens with a black GP : ClubGP Message Forum troubleshooting


~E~

So sick... im really thinking about getting those saleens...

Wow, I've never really liked the Monte's, but THAT one is done right . Now I want a set for my GTP.

Is the difference of a +40mm offset noticable from a +36 wheel?
