I have an 85 TA that came stock with 15 inch rims. I ordered and put 16 inch stock TA rims, but had no idea that the fronts had to be spaced. The real problem is I had just put brand new rotors and callipers 6 months ago . Do I need to replace the whole brake system, or the rotors only?? Let me know, I've already sunk over $3000 in to this bottomless pit and hope to have it completed SOON!

Thanks for your help,
Bryan

 

as far as replacing the whole brake system, no. also on the 16's they have a differ ent back spacing 4 the front and rear. if u take the wheels off inside they should say rear only on the rear wheels. does your car have ws6(performance suspension?) what year ta rims?

-----oh yeah i've had over 8k in my car before i started on performance goodies, so i know how u feel-----

 

Here is a picture of the rims. I'm switching for the new ones on the right. I was wondering if wheel spacers would work as well?

 

The 16"rims look like the 87 Formula rims... like the 15" 20-slotted, just not bowl-shaped (they remind me of bigger sunbird rims).
I do have the Ws-6 suspension. Wonder if wheel spacers would work??

 

Those are real pretty all-white wheels!!

Seriously, if the wheels you're trying to put on are thirdgen T/A wheels, you don't need any spacers. Just make sure you put the fronts on the front.

If they're 4th gen T/A wheels, you'll need spacers. No way around that. You'll need some on the rear too. Those don't have different fronts and rears, so you need two different thicknesses of spacers; about 2" for the front, and about 1½" for the rear.

You don't have to do anytihng to the brakes.
