I have a 1988 GTA and wanted to use a new rim size. I was thinking about Torque Thrust 2s but am not sure what specs to use. I wanted to use 17 inch. What is the most common backspacing and widths used? It does have rear discs. Also what is the best size tires for this. I thought 275-40-17 but was not sure if these would also fit the front. Any help would be appreciated.

 

They'll fit but you'll have to have the wheels "custom made" as the 9.5" width doesn't come in traditional backspacings. I'm running 17 x 8s with 245/45ZR17s and 4" backspacing all around which fills up the wheelwells nicely. I also have discs all around and Sportline lowering springs.

 

Do you have any pics of the car? I am interested in how the back looks. Can the 275-40-17 tire be put on the 8" rim?
