You can think of wheelbase being measured from hub to hub, which stays constant.

Wheel Comparison. 265-65-17 vs 265-60-18 and 265-65-18.

Very nice. If I were new to the GX community, those rims could pass as OEM

CAP & STILES!!!

Can you please post up some Better picts of the 18" on your GX's! I would like some front / rear shots so I can see how they look and if they stick out any more than stock?

GX should have come with 18's standard if you ask me

I agree (that it should have come w/18s).

They won't stick out any more because both the wheel offset & the tire width (at least in my case) are th same as OEM. IIRC et25mm for offset.

I can't take pics @ the moment because I'm running on my winter setup. I won't have my 18s on for another month or two.

Those do look damn good!!

If you don't order the TPMS, what happens with the system in the GX? Can it be turned off, or do you get the warning light permanently?
