(1) Does anybody know why GXP brake upgrade with 12.7" rotors as advertized at ZZP Performance must be used
with 18" wheels...vs the 13" brake upgrade offered can be used with 17" wheels...????? I would think since the GXP is 12.7" wouldn't they fit 2004 GP with the 17" wheels? ...What are the issues here need clarification..

(2) In process going form 16" to 17" (6.5 wide) OEM Factory wheels with 235x55x17 Tires...what would you recommend for a brake upgrade for this type setup and note: I stll have the OEM brake setup the single piston with auto zone cermanic gold pads?

(3) Did the 2004 GP GT2 come with OEM 12" rotors or 11" rotors does anybody know...what the orginal specs
for the rotors were for this model car was?

1) could be a bit smaller caliper wise- but don't really know. OEM GXP rims are 18"

2) In process (just purchased) or thinking of getting 17" rims with 235x55x17 tires? Cuz there are also GXP 18" rims that look really nice. 245/45/18 and 255/45/18 will make the car handle like if it were on rails. GXP brakes can be found on the for sale threads every now and then for a nice price once it a while also or contact Morad.

3) 11.7? I think. specs?

I run my stock 17" Enkei's with my GXP brakes, and I plan on getting another set of 17" wheels for summer only.
ZZP lies to make you fork out cash, however I do not even believe they sell 18" wheels or any wheels at all?
They are still wrong.

Check out my signature, those are with Bonneville SSEI 17s. (20-spoke flavor from 2000).

They fit just fine.
