Will the Hawks 17" crosslace replicas work on a G body

It's pretty popular to swap 16" crosslace (4 fronts) to a (1987) G Body. But anyone know or try a 17" replica?

I figured the third gen guys would have more direct knowledge.

Spacers, tire sizes, etc.?

Thanks.

You may have to use the 1/4" spacer for the front. Not too sure

Yeah. 17" gives the wheel better clearance at the tie rod than a 16" has.

But you can go for crosslace 18s already set up for the G-body instead.

What are the wheel specs on the 18s?
