Beautiful cars I never liked the body style of the 04-08s but the GXP is an exception.

Tires are backwards and it looks like the tires aren't the right size either.

Good looking car. Almost identical to mine.

Yeah I noticed that right away too lol. They put brand new nexen's but put 225's on the 8 inch rims and put them in back. Idiots. As soon as it warms up(don't have a heated garage) I'm gonna switch them. Don't feel like messing around with a jack and metals tools when it's single digits outside!

Yep, show them the door sticker. If you look online, the manufacturer will tell you that tire is not designed for an 8" rim.

I guarantee they were being cheap and knew what they were doing.

For sure ghetto joe. There is a place in Mankato called Busters that has car roll in nights every Thursday I believe in summer. Mostly classic cars but a lot of guys show up with newer F-bodys and others as well. Always fun to hang out with other enthusiasts.
