Default Drag radials

Will 16'' wheels fit on the front of the Grand Prix Gxp?

I don't think so, your brakes are too big IIRC.

Why the sad face, thats a good thing! haha. Hoosier makes 275/40/17 DOT drag radials, so just find a 17x9 wheel with our lug pattern to mount them on and bam you got a track set of wheels. Just don't turn your wheel all the way at the track lol

you could always get custom 15 or 16" rims that are made to clear the bigger brakes. The import and j-body guys to it all the time.
