    I'm not to experienced with rims, more under the hood.

    The previous owner didn't take good care of the '05 GXP stock rims, so they are in ok shape, but not great. I'm going to make them my winter rims and am in the market for 20's. performanceplustire.com has some 20" Cragar's on sale through tomorrow for like $149 a rim, which is about $200 off per rim, but when I type in my vehicle they only give me the sedan-gt option under Grand Prix so the rims are 5x115 bolt pattern obviously, 20x9, 35+ offset, and the tire size choice is given automatically at 245/35R20. I'm not really worried about faster wear or a little less handling, I'm just worried about rubbing or not-fitting issues. Would I be better trying to order 2 pairs of rims and tires separate and keeping them staggered or would those fit fine? Thanks in advance.

    Edit: Sorry if this is already posted.

    I'm pretty sure those are going to rub big time.

    How would they rub if you're getting 35 series tire you'll be close to the o.d of the 45 series factory equipped plus the bilsteins have higher spring perches so the chance of rubbing is very minimal

    Because they are 20x9 with a different offset than stock?

    20x9 +35mm will fit decently.

    there's a good chance you'll have to roll the fenders. run the right sized tire and you should be well off, though.

    It is not the spring perch, it is the Fender that he would rub.


    But yeah just the rear fenders would need a roll, front should be okay, you may rub the liner on occassion with big bumps, no biggie.

    yea that makes sense arent GXP fenders wider though? ive seen alot of GXP's running 20's but never knew the size

    Yeah I wouldn't expect GM to change much on a car that they stamped out over 250,000 copies of.
