I just bought an 87 GTA and notices right away that the wheels were on wrong. The offset ones were on the front and vise versa. Well I went to swap them back but when I put the front wheels back up front the rim hits the tie rod..... How could that be since the wheels are stock diamond spoke wheels? 16x8.

 

the wheels are marked front and rear on the back side. the front wheels have a larger lip than the rears. they were probably on right when you bought it.

 

Thanks a lot. I've never noticed that before until I bought one. it didn't look right and it bugged the heck outta me.

 

you can sell the rears if you want and buy 2 more fronts, so they are all the same. Or you can use the rears on the front with a small spacer, just make sure there is enough thread engagement left.

 

I thought about spacers but if the wheels are ment to be that way I will leave them. Like they say, if its not broke, dont mess with it lol. Thanks again.
