    I have a GXP and it already has wider on the front and I don't know how wide I could go - it seems odd to me that it has a reversed staggered set-up anyway and I'm already running 255/45 on the front as it is, At this point I'm just trying to find out options as I won't be doing any changes until these tires need replacing. I do know a tire guy, maybe I'll see if we can test fit a couple and see what happens.

    A 10" rim on the rear of the GXP will NEVER fit unless you do major modifications.

    Hopefully being the owner of a GXP, you're not serious in the fact that you don't understand the backwards stagger of rim/tire width.

    The GXP has a reversed staggered setup for traction purposes - u have a heavy V8 up front. With a skinnier tire, you would have no grip.
