grand prix 5 star rim question

[dohcfiend]

how wide are these and how much do they weigh w/out a tire?

i think they are 16x8 b/c u can put 245/50's on them which i thought designates a 8 inch wheel.

the 16x8's are the crosslaces until 96 im pretty sure the 5 star ones are 16x7 until 96 too after that they are 16x6.5

the pic on the left is 96 and the one on the right is 97

hmm i wonder if the crosslace's have a different offset?

The GP wheels have less offset to account for the body cladding. The crosslaces have more backspacing (like a Lumina, cutlass, etc) to account for the added wheel width. Does that make sense?

some of this has been said already, but the GP 5-spokes are 16x7 for all years and the xlaces are 16x8 for 89-96 gp's (there are quite a few other cars that got smaller versions and 97+ are 6.5"....and ugly, lol). both gp 5-spokes and xlaces are 25mm, as opposed to other cars having like 38mm, iirc and the 2nd gens are 43 iirc

definately informative as i thought the gen 1 w-body had the 38mm offset too. thanx alot for that little tidbit.
