any issues running these? i was told by discount tire that they wouldn't work at all because the offset would make them rub the struts.

We're going to need the offset and bolt pattern.
07-03-2011
bolt patter in 5x115 so i know that's fine, i don't know the offset though.

The Impala SS does use different struts in the rear than the non ss models. I know that for sure. It should fit in the front I think

I think they will work, iirc? but i kno ther heavy!!

they look better on GPs then the impala.
07-04-2011
No they look horrible..... Shield rims ftl they don't even look good on the cobalts they are strictly hideous

ewwwww nooooooooo

Don't like them on the GTP, and that fender makes me sad.

and chunky did u do that thing that honda people do where they raise the back of there hood?
Sorry for thread jacking lol
07-04-2011
it is raised to clear the SC/IC because i do not want an aftermarket hood. but it was also raised before i had the IC was on and i did get the idea from the honda kids. function>form.

agreed on the fender, not my car. i had asked a guy at discount tire about them a while back and he said that they wouldn't work because of the offset, then i saw them on one and was a little confused. i think they would look good if powder coated black.
07-04-2011
ahhhh ic chunky well than for that reason it is ok
07-04-2011
lol, glad i've earned your approval. guess i'll have to find something new to get hated on for, maybe ill start looking for these wheels..

LTZ impala 18s are better, the GP GXPs arent bad but the Bonny GXP wheels are SICK looking for a stock wheel. Heres pic, I put the GP wheels up for a side by side comparison as I'm sure most know what they look like. The way it sounds Bonnies' are all 18X8(someone correct me if I'm wrong)
And side note question are the Alcoas 18X8/18X7 stager like the standard GXP wheels or are they 4 18X8
Impala LTZ
GP GXP standard
GP GXP Alcoa
Bonny GXP

i agree, love the bonn. gxp wheel. i do like that LTZ wheel a lot too. with a shorter tire they should work fine on a gtp.

all GP GXP wheels are staggerd. not sure the sizes of bonnie GXP's, but they do look good
07-06-2011
Not ALL GP GXP's have staggared rims/tires.
That guy () has 18X8 Alcoa's all the way around.
IMO, the staggard look is just dumb.
07-06-2011
its not a look.... the reason GM made the front tires wider than the rears is to help deal with understeer.
but if your talking staggerd rim size (18s up front and 19s in the rear for example) then yes, that does look dumb
