Will the Hawks 17" crosslace replicas work on a G body
It's pretty popular to swap 16" crosslace (4 fronts) to a (1987) G Body. But anyone know or try a 17" replica?
I figured the third gen guys would have more direct knowledge.
Spacers, tire sizes, etc.?
Thanks.

You may have to use the 1/4" spacer for the front. Not too sure

Yeah. 17" gives the wheel better clearance at the tie rod than a 16" has.
But you can go for crosslace 18s already set up for the G-body instead.
