hey guys need some help dont know if its been asked but i cant find it i picked up an 02 rear will GTA wheels fit and look right or will they stick out a lil to far need to know b4 i do bearings and swap into my car other wise imma have to save for some wheels

 

I am not 100% positive but I think someone posted that it will stick out 2 inches on either side of the car. Again I am not positive this is true hopefully someone else will see this and either confirm it or disagree.

 

i herd that it was 2 inches wider aswell but i was hoping since the gta wheels have the offset dish in them already that it might not be as bad as like stock TA wheels or formula wheels just not sure wanna get more oppinions or some pics would be cool

 

correct overall its 2 inches wides that 3rd gen axle.

 

how stupid does it look with the offset of the gta wheels does it stick out to far where its really noticable is there alot of tire showing from behind or can it pass for a lil while till i get new rims

 

1. it is actually 1.5-2 inches PER side depending on the year and traction control option.

2. do a search as this was recently covered(within the last week) with pics included.

not to mention, there is a sticky about it in the FAQ board

 

i appreciate all the help the rear is out of a 2002 it has the traction control ring and all that in it i know i can put it in but i dont wanna do it yet if A. its gunna look stupid cuz its wide and B. if i go to the strip im gunna rub quarter to tire so im just trying to get all the info possible

 

I just saw a formula 350 with a 4th gen posi rear in it and I have to say it looks kinda silly. The tires are noticably sticking out atleast 2 or more inches on either side. That is just my opinion some people might like it. The kid said he had no choice but he got a great deal on the rear.

oh and he had the 16" tires on it with 245 50 16 tires and they did not hit the rear quarter during burnouts. I actually saw it at the dragway.

 

tom, here is the thread i was referring to:

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tran...questions.html

as i said there, the tires do not stick out past the fender lip. i think it gives more of a muscle car look.

 

thanks for that link it really helped it doesnt look bad at all deff doing that swap very soon and its good to know that they wont rub on a hard launch cuz its got 4:10's in it and i still got the auto in it for now thanks again guys
