    Quick question guys, will 16 inch steel wheels fit on 2005 grand prix gxp?

    I need some winter rims and tires and not sure if 16 inch will clear the brakes.

    Thanks

    Nope.

    Must run 17's with proper offsets so it doesnt hit the front calipers.

    I should say more so that you need to make sure the spokes dont hit the calipers, but offset of the rim will still play a role in weather they fit or not. I think stock is near the +40-50 range, so stick with that range offset of the rim.

    On the hunt for winter rubber on the stock gxp rims.

    Hard to find in the factory sizes. Would 245/50/18 all around work?
    Even tho front is 18x8 and rear rim is 18x7?

    Thanks

    245/45's will be perfect for all around size with winter tires.
