Just wondering if any can post a picture of a GTA 16" crosslace rim and 295/50/16?

I have 15x8 prostars now with a 28x12.5 in the back and I think it would be cool to have to stock rims back on.

It will be a little of a weight disadvantage but oh well.

 

I've done it on my old 92 RS, whose wheels are the same size & offset. Sorry, this is the only pic I that even halfway shows the tires.


How heavy are the Prostars? The crosslaces are only 16.7lbs.

 

Oh yeah...And these pics, but doesn't show them any better.

My prostars are 12lbs per rim

The gta rims with rubber was 43lbs.

 

You had some HEAVY tires then. With only a 4lb difference in the wheels, that would only put you 8lbs heavier.

Maybe a 16" tire is lighter, because there is "less tire"?

 

Yah, now I cant remember the weight of my prostars and the rubber(28x12.5)

I'll have to take them off and weigh them unless someone can give me a wieght on them

 

IIRC, my 17" x 11" Snypers with the 315/35s mounted were just above 40lbs.

Next time I have them off I'll weight them.

 

wow, 295's on the stockers. What kind of tires are you planning on running? I can only find the old school looking BFG Radial T/As, they are only S rated. I bet it will look beefy though!

 

The BFGs are what I ran on my 92. In fact, the only 295/50/16s that I know of.

 

This is what I am thinking about

Mickey Thompson et street radial

 

Nice, the guys over on LS1Tech run those on the stock 16x8's as well, you should be ok. I think I am going to try the BFG 295/50/r16 all seasons and see how they like 400rwhp! Be sure to get lots of pictures when you get them mounted, they seem to be severely under documented on here lol

 

Yeah, despite me running them over 10 years ago, before TGO even existed. And have been seen here many times.

But it was a weak 305 TBI that I never raced, it just looked good so.....

 

Yeah, i've seen a pic or two on occasion and a lot of questions asking about them, but I guess due to the sheer size and obscurity of that size (for a street tire) they are just hard to find info on. If I get it done, I'll post pics, I need tires in about a month anyway.

 

...

 

In other words.....A factory GTA/TA crosslace wheel.

 

my friend runs them on his 90 formy and its slammed, looks very nice imo. I'm going to run the same setup on my formy with my gta's. cooper also makes a 295/50/16.

 

Can i get 275's on my stocker camaro SC rims?

 

what size are they? 15's? I ran 275/60/15's on my stock 15in firebird wheels that I was using for a while and my car is slammed and they tucked in perfect with no rubbing.

 

I'm pretty sure they're 15's. i dont drive the car yet, so idk what the tire size is, but its the plain camaro rims..pretty sure they are 15x7's

 

are they 5 spoke?
