Re: gold gta wheels

dont knwo about the cetner caps, but i assume, if they were from 16" camaro wheels, they will fit the crosslaces.

front are 16x8 with 4.5" of BS, or zero offset.

rears are 16x8 with 5.125" od bs or +16mm offset.

fronts will fit the rear, rears will not fit the front.

street tires, you are limited in selection, typically its just a 245/50/16 or there are a couple 255's. Comp tires you can get, or used to be able to get, 265's.

taller than stock, im sure there are some offerings, but are probably more for small trucks and suv's.

Re: gold gta wheels

can i run a smaller than 245 up front or a thinner than a 50? i dont want an elastic band, just a sporty look. the rears i want a real meaty tire. as long as there wide tires i wont mind the taller area.

Re: gold gta wheels

sure you can, just watch the ride height, dont want to tear up the front end with a smaller/lower tire
