i know i got different size rims on my 06 gxp but can i still rotate them ? i would like to put the 255/ 45r 18 on all four. . would i have to match the rims of the bigger tire set to do this? the back tires come stock 225/50r18
i read the impala ss has same tires all the way around.

Some have put the OEM sized tire on the rear rim with no ill effects. But I wouldn't rotate them to the front.
If you really want to rotate, get yourself the same sized wheels (and tires) all around. If you're looking to match your front Alcoas all around, good luck.![Icon Lol](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_lol.gif)
It took me forever to find two extra 18x8s.

18x7s? Yes, maybe.
18x8s? No.
It's the 18x8s that people want when going the same wheels all around. The problem with the rears is the lack of tire options (that could have changed nowadays) along with the smaller footprint (7" vs. 8").

Lol did you call to verify they have them?
The problem with all those websites is that they'll list the wheels and process your order. What they really do is attempt to find the wheels. If within 30 days they cannot find the wheels, they'll either cancel your order and provide a refund or they'll just cancel the order and not charge you.
