Will Stock GTA Front Wheels Fit On Rear???
Hey Guys, I am sure this has been posted before, I tried searching for it on here but couldn't find it. I think it would look a hell of a lot better with the fronts all the way around. Has anyone done this? I think it would give it a little wider stance, and tire rotation would be a breeze! Would this work ? Any Problems, and how about with Eibach sportline springs? Why did they put two different size rims on the GTA's? Thanks!

Fronts fit the rear fine with with or without lowering springs.
Not sure why they had different offsets, maybe to make the rear track skinnier so that the rear would follow the front when cornering instead of the rear trying to push and cause understeer.
I ran 4 fronf GTA's on my 86 Trans Am with 2" drop springs and had no issues at all, gave it a nice wide stance on all 4 corners and the ability to rotate tires easier.
