deeper ones are supposed to b on the back. I believe they are wider overall. Wider in the back is better...after all that was pontiac's slogan

The deeper ones actually go on the front. There's a stamping on the back that tells you F or R. Well, my Classic Industries black crosslaces did.

Oh, and they're not wider or narrower than each other. All four are 8 inches wide.

Re: GTA Owners I need Help

The deeper wheels are supposed to be on the FRONT. It's wierd, I know, but a buddy of mine has a GTA that he just put front wheels all the way around. They put the deeper dish wheels on the front to clear some of the steering/suspension components I believe. If you put the deep wheels on the back and the others on the front you might tear something up.
