Greetings all!

I am curious about how the combination of these rims:



Would look on this car:





Any help is greatly appreciated!

Rims would look great!!!
One big problem.
There are a bear to keep clean.
I have this style on my 2001 and the brake dust is a constant problem.
I have ceramic pads and they still must be cleaned every week.

I found a set of rims/tires on local craigslist, and picked them up.

Here is the IRL version of photoshop for those curious:



Now, I just need to find center caps, and track down my issue in the LF that is chewing tires.

Looks much better than the stockers!

Looks like those rims came from a 97 - 03 Grand Prix. You should try to bolt them on there before you get too far ahead of yourself; those wheels will likely be rubbing on the calipers.

Could you elaborate on this a bit more please?

He means that there may not be enough wheel offset to clear the brake calipers.

They may require wheel spacers.

1st gen W's have calipers that stick out very far. I have not tried these wheels in particular, but basically any h-body or 2nd gen+ w-body wheel will not bolt on without rubbing.

It looks like you already have the wheels so I would try to bolt them on and see, but I'm about 95% sure they won't fit without some sort of spacer.

Here's an update.

I tried mounting 1 wheel to the right rear, only to find out that the tire is hitting the trailing arm. Spacers would likely be needed on all 4 corners for this rim/tire combo

So, now I am not quite sure which direction to go, whether it be wheel spacers, different rims all together, or cut my losses and stay stock. I am also not sure how much spacer it would take to do the job.

The goal is to get a wider tire with a bit shorter sidewall under it so that it doesn't drive on the sidewall when I decide I want to have a little fun.

I would recommend looking for a set of 88-96 GP Crosslace wheels. They look just like the bonneville wheels, but the GP wheels will clear all of the brakes and suspension and are also 16" x 8" wheels.
