Rim Swap Anyone ever tried/seen an Impala or Monte SS with the GXP's factory rims? Or will this swap not work? Oh, and I was thinking about how great the Trailblazer SS rims would look on my Impala. Thoughts?

Correct, 6 lug, might be a different lug pattern as well and back space.
The 6 spoke ones aren't very nice looking...plus you usually don't want to put SUV wheels on a Car...they need to be denser(heavier) to hold the added weight of the vehicle.

i think im that user. here you go. those are 4 rears though. i should have went with the 18x8s though. i didnt know if the offsets were different or if the gxps had flared fenders in the front or not. i didnt want to lose the money on the wheels if they stuck out.
