    Hi Guys

    Just like the title says.....

    The offset is 52, which is the same as the rear GXP rim. However, I think the impala rim is 6.5 inches wide and not 7 inches.

    Looking for winter rims. Who knows FOR SURE (not looking for a guess)?

    Thanks!

    100% sure they'll fit over the front GXP brakes? I know the rear GXP 7" rims will fit on the front no problem, I just don't know about the Impala wheels because I think they're 6.5" wide. I wouldn't think it would matter, but I don't have the knowledge to know for sure.

    Not doubting you, I just don't know and don't want to spend cash on something that won't work.

    Thanks

    offset will determine fitting over brakes. given they are the same offset then youre probably golden.

    they are 6.5"

    offset does come into play with the calipers, but also the design of the rim.
    and those are 17s also. They will sure be closer to the calipers..

    Yep, that's what I'm afraid of.

    The rear GXP rims is 18X7 with an offset of 52. This rim will fit over the front GXP brakes.

    The Impala rims is 17X6.5 with an offset of 52. I don't know if this will fit over the front GXP brakes and really don't want to spend the money on something I'm not SURE will fit.

    I know the 'spokes' on the GXP rim are a bit bowed out, which would make for a bit more room on the inside. I don't believe the Impala rims looks like the spokes bow out at all.

    Man I"m confused.......
