    245/45/18 is what you want.

    The offest might too low, and most likely you will rub the fenders. Rolling your fenders is going to be needed.

    Not really wanting to roll my fenders would a 30-32mm offset work without rolling them?

    So you can run a more aggressive tire setup and look more awesome when you lower your car?

    Hellaflush ftw?

    Or has that trend finally died?

    I dont want to lower my car, (http://www.grandprixforums.net/offic...kes-46217.html) I seen in here that I need a 30-32mm offset would be best to clear the caliper, and that they need to be 18's but didnt see any thing about tire sizes. I have a 2001 GTP If anyone could help me so I wouldn't have to Molest my car It would be greatly appericated.

    Ever seen one of these cars with wheels with that offset at stock ride height?

    Nothing looks more "molested" than that.

    If you're not lowering any tire size that meets stock diametre is fine.

    245/45r18 is a favourite around here.

    4x4 status with poke.. It don't look good. Tolerable? Yes. Good looking? No

    At least buy dna springs and drop it slightly.

    Probably not, it's not that big of a drop. Maybe an inch at most.. If that. Just enough to get rid of unnecessary wheel gap.
