Since there is a lot of discussion about wheels on this forum I thought I would post this here.

On the GTA crosslaced wheels, one set looks to be deeper than the other. The question is, do those deeper wheels go on the front or back?

When I got my car they were on the front, but some one told me this was wrong. Did he know what he was talking about?

 

yes, i believe that the wider offset wheels go on to the front. I am 75% sure of this.

 

Wouldn't the wider offset be the ones that look shallower when they are on the car?

 

Anybody else have an opinion here?

 

Hi Guys,

Well I have a 1991 GTA and the Deeper dish set are ONLY for the front.
You cannot put them on the back or you will have problems.
The offset is different in the back than the front... that's why you cannot rotate the wheels front to back on a gta.

Hope that helps.

No reason why the fronts wont fit on the backs because there are guys that run 4 fronts (zepher I think is one of them that has)... but I've heard/read that the backs won't work on the front. They hit stuff.

 

I would think if the fronts are in the back they would stick out past the fender wells.

 

I don't hae the pic of zepher's car saved, but from what I remember it looked better that way. If you've gotta drum rearend and no spacers then the rears on the rear stick too far in.... so fronts all around would be perfect then.

 

just for the hell of it

Q: What are the offsets for the front and rear 16 inch wheels?

A: 0 mm on the front and 16 mm (negative - outward) on the rear.

 

azvolfan, if your puting them on yours, omg that color with thos rims thats going to look f-ing killer!!!!!!

 

Nope, the GTA wheels are staying on the T/A. The camaro will very soon be getting some ROH ZS Racing Rims.

 

I think these look pretty good too.

 

now where talking

 

Front offsets are the ones with more dish to the lip. they can be run on all 4 corners. The rear ones will rub the tie rods if placed up front, I've never tried the rears on the front of the car but a few here have tried and said it rubbed.

The front offset of the 16" wheels are the same offset as the stock 15's and 14's that the 3rd gens have. The rear 16"s are the oddball.

Here are a few shots of my cars with front offset wheels on all 4 corners,

 

Thanks Zeph, that clears things up a bit. Is it also the same for the camaros? I assume it is.

 

come on you kno you want to swich wheels with your t/a
