Hi,

What exactly would happen if one put rear GTA wheels on the front?

I've read through about 100 posts of people putting fronts on the rear, and about 10 mixed opinions. I need a real answer.. Anyone do it?

well I put a IROC rear on the front of my car and it didnt go on to well. I had to put a wheel spacer so that it didnt hit the inner wheel well. And cause of hte spacer there wasnt much stud left. Kinda dangerous in my opinion. Im not sure if its the same with the GTA but I'm guessing it is.

 

The wheel will physically rub on the tie rod. End of story.

 

I have GTA's on my ride. 225/50/16's in the front and 255's in the back. I had to get spacers, I think they were 1/2" for the front, and it took car of the rubbing.

It's not dangerous, I have been running this setup for a year, at least. Having the fronts in the back gives the car a cool drag appearance, the offset is perfect, the tire just tucks under the fender. The spacers will cost yopu about $20 at Pep Boys.

 

I run rear Iroc rims on all four corners- I use a 1/4" spacer and ARP 2 1/2" long wheel studs. Here's a link to a picture of the studs on my rears Sorry, no front pics- but you can clearly see the studs are much longer than stock studs.
