Does anyone have experience with putting 20" rimes and 35 tires on the Grand Prix? Is it feasible?

I've only seen two GP rollin on dubs, so it is feasible. Here's a pic of one:

I think most 97-03 GP owners avoid 20 inch rims because they require the fenders to be rolled, they are prone to damage, & the high weight of the wheel reduces performance.

What do you mean when you say "prone to damage." The car or the rims? I appreciate your input.

The rims. The low profile tires you'll need won't offer much protection against potholes. Plus, you'll need to stiffen the suspension to reduce its travel over bumps. So the ride won't be comfortable, but you'll look good getting there.

You know what you're talking about - the car looks good but the ride is ROUGH. I live in a city with nothing but potholes.

Do you know what it means to "have the fenders rolled"?

Rolling a fender involves using a special tool (a fender roller) to reshape the metal around the wheel opening. By bending the fender up and out of the way, the tire will not rub the body and cause noise and uneven wear. The end result produces fenders that are slightly more flared than stock.
