i have an 88 formula and an 86 regal. while i'm finishing the 'bird project, could i throw my 16"s from the formula onto the regal? anyone have any clue if this would work? and if not what wheels from a junkyard would fit it? (regal hubcaps are ugggggggly)

 

I know some who as
firebird wheels on
a g-body
they look ok

 

I know for a fact it will work on the 80's regals because I see Grand Nationals in my area with the GTA Crosslace wheels. This means that the bolt pattern and backspacing must work. The Black GN's look really cool with the GTA wheels too.

 

The crosslace you are refering to are the stock wheels for the GNX as well as GTA...

 

I believe the GNX used the same wheel as the GTA/TA black cross laced wheels BUT I believe they used all fronts for the proper spacing.


Why did GM make our offsets different front to back we will never know.

Do We even need an asnwer for that?

 

3.8transam had blk gta rims on his 442, so they will work!

 

I have some GTA wheels on my GN--you definitely need 4 fronts.
The rear wheels will rub on the frame of the G-body w/o spacers--which are expensive and then you'll have to change the studs because they'll be too short--no biggie if you have air tools--but a bitch if you have to do it by hand!!

 

Thoes wheels you have look like ****.

What happened to them?


Lets see a pic of the GN

 

i put my 84 Z28 5 stars on the 81 cutlass supreme i cut up before i cut it up for the computer V8 stuff and doors, etc,. looked smart on it
wheel studs too short though, it sucks,

 

yeah theres a GN here in my town too (runs 10's!!!!!!) and it got black GTA wheels!

 

Those wheels came off a junker in the yard--I haven't been able to clean them up like I wanted to-no time. Plus I have my really nice wheels on my T/A. Hopefully soon enough I'll be able to strip those wheels and re-clear them.
here's a teaser.

 

oops

 

one more.

 

Damn Tony is that hood white or is that all dust on that car?

 

Dust
It's been sitting for about 5 yrs now!

 

well, screw that, just found a puddle in the back of the regal, so i'm not too pleased with it right now, plus it's my beater/daily driver, just wanted it to look cool.maybe next time i'm at the junk heap i'll check for fronts.

 

5 Years, that poor GN.

I which I had one... Guess my Monte SS will have to do for now.

Smoked a Tricked out 5.0 last night. That was fun.
I was siting at the light, talking to the guy in the 5.0. He was so sure he was gonna beat me. Guess he got it soved down his throat. Weird, even I figured he would smoke me.

Gotta love it...

 

Yea...I know this is off the subject of the whole Grand National thing that has been talked about...But the whole F-body G-body wheels work...I used to have Olds Cutlass Rally Rims on my 'Bird for a while...Mostly because I bought 4 brand new Kelly Chargers with the rims for $125 off a buddy of mine....Thats about all I have to say...

its not off the subject, just backwards. Backwards Engeneering, love it.

Doesn't the answer have to do with lugnuts? Same wheel, the size or lugnut shape???

 

JP8, i started the post, lol, and i just got a set of american racing wheels with Kelly charger tires on them, but get this, 80 bucks, about a years worth of tread left on them too. the wheels look hella nice on my regal

 

good deal slicks...did you get the rims and tires for 80 bucks total??? cause that is a friggin hell of a steal right there...
