Default Wheels
My friend had a Grand Prix gt and sold it but he kept his 20inch wheels and will sell them to me for a price I cant pass up. Just need to find out if they will fit on my GXP I'm not sure if they share the same dimensions. Anyone know?

Bolt pattern will work, but the offset might be off, I would mount them and see if you like the look.

Drive over to his house and try one on.

I bet his front wheels mount the narrower GP tire (7") as opposed the wider ones that GXPs use, so you'll lose the stagger and the handling that grants you.

Do you know the wheel manufacturer or the wheel specs? As stated the offset is the important part. The bolt pattern is the same. You should be ok if the pffset is within +35mm to +40mm.
