Drummer Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 at the junk yard near me there is a 2000 bonneville sle with 17" rims and I've heard that they will work on my GXP but barely. Winter is shortly coming and i don't want to use my alcoas in the salt and grime. If anyone could chime in that would be awsome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecutlass Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I have white 18" 2005 bonneville gxp rims for my 95gp the summers. I added 5mm spacers and it was fine. Not sure about the one your talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummer Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 This is what the rims look like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skitchin Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Here's my understanding of newer wheels - without spacers they'll hit the calipers - with spacers, the studs won't be long enough to be safe. You can, however, find long studs to fit into your hub - no idea how hard this is but you can definitely make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummer Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 well this is an 06 gp thought gxp would be a hint lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 They should work no problem, key word is should... The GXP has bigger brakes but I think 17"s are the smallest you can go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yeah they might be close in the front with those 13" brakes. But would still probably work alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
