I have a complete set with tires of 88 15" IROC rims. $100 for the set.

F-body rims won't fit.

The bolt pattern needs to be 5 x 114.3mm

And you will be hard pressed to fit a 16x8 or anything like that on there with the rear trailing arm setup.

:shrugs: you could get first gen W-bodies with a 16x8. Some of the GPs got a 16x8 crosslace wheel similar to the F-body ones.

Yeah, but the 97-03 ones got 16x6.5" wheels stock, and there isn't that much room under there for 2 more inches of rim. There's barely room for 20mm more tire.

Sorry for the hijack Iroc. Your best bet is getting a set of stock GP rims for winter.

i had 245/45/17s on a lowered 99 GP...thats 20mm more wide...didnt look at the trailing arm though.

but yeah, you should be able to score a set of cheap wheels on clubgp.com or something

Yeah, I've been running 245/50/16s on my stock GTP rims since '99. There is JUST enough room for them.

It does have an independent rear suspension. You have two lower trailing arms/control arms that go to the bottom of each rear spindle.
