Will GTA rims fit my car?

Will 16" GTA rims fit on an '84 Trans Am? Will they rub in turns? If they fit, what size tires are recommended? Thanks.....

I think they will fit okay w/o rubbing. You should be able to use 245/50 tires. I know I can go from a late model camaro 16" whl to my 84 Camaro Z28. I am assuming the GTA rims have the same offset as the Iroc type whls. Remember you have the front rims w/ zero offset and the rears are 16mm offset(if same as Iroc whls).

They should fit with no problems.
I have 4 front GTA rims on my 86 T/A.
The fronts rub when you turn really sharp.
I have 245/50/16's. I will be switching to 255/50/16 in the future to get rid of some wheel well gap.

Thirdgen rims are completely interchangeable. You can go from 15" to 16" just by swapping. Make you sure get the fronts and rears lined up correctly, like was said above.
