No I don't think they will. It's th wrong bolt pattern. 5-4.75 is for our car. Or 5-120.65.

Re: will these rims fit my GTA

im trying to go with a nascar kind of look with the white raised letter tires and all. But my second option is just going with the black gta stock rims.

0mm looks better all the way around. The way the stock wheels were built just looks wrong, with the shallower dish in the back.

But with 0mm offset at the rear, wont the rear tires rub on the fender if you were to hit a bump?

Re: will these rims fit my GTA

Still thinking of using the Year One "bandit" rims on my car!!! But I would feel much better if I could find a pic of a 3rd gen with those rims on it before I go and buy them!

The rims are too expensive to buy if it makes the car look stupid with them on!!!

Not a bit. Very common to run all 4 fronts.

Want a cool tip to make it all look right? Put the fronts on the rear & the rears on the front, but with those aluminumm drum factory spacers. That'll give the narrow wheel up front, wide rear wheel look out back. Without the spacers, rears will rub up front if you try to turn ANY.

I know somewhere on TGO, I've seen pics of 3rd gens with the Bandit wheels on. I know I even did a Photoshop at one time, but apparently I deleted it after there were pics of real 3rd gens with them on.
