He said he's actaully wanted SS wheels. I've wanted some GXP wheels since I had my GTPs. Settled for bullits. If I didn't get these, I was planning to get some black Saleens B-)

The ones I bought have 255s all around. Don't know how safe that is on the 7" or 7.5" rim O_o

They're both front and rear. Not sure what the condition is as of yet. Doesn't look to be pitted in any way or curbed. Just wondering if the 255 is too wide for a 7" rim.

And thanks!! I was at work last night and came across them, like wtf!?!? Text the guy at like 5am lol

ive run 255s on 7s but they were 15" wheels. idk if it would be better or worse on an 18. i run 245s on the 7s and i dont think the 10mm more would be too much.

theyre the 7" alcoas with 245s all the way around. i was afraid to buy the 8s thinking that they might stick out up front with a big tire. i was under the impression that the gxps fenders were flared or something.

Man. Didn't even notice they were the GXP rims. They look sick on your Monte. I have 255 on the 8s and they're still flush.

i think that theyre the best wbody wheels hands down. if the ss wheels wouldve had thinner spokes like the cobalts i wouldve stayed with them. yeah i regret getting the 7s, but at the time no one else had them on the ss cars. how close is the tire to the strut on the back?

Too be honest with you, I didn't even check. Tomorrow when I get off of work, I'll take some pics of the spacing if I can get in there to
