Barry, What a coincidence. A few years ago a co-worker bought a GMC truck from the dealership and told me about the GNX. I had long forgotten that the car was there. It took me about a year to get by and take a look. The salesman told me that a couple of times a year the owner of the...

Barry, Is the GNX coming from NJ? The reason I ask is that one has been sitting on the Buick/GMC dealership floor in Keyport, NJ since 1987. Last year for the first time I actually walked inside to check it out. One of the salesmen told me people stop in periodically to take pics of the car...

Thanks for the compliment. Your car looks great. I'm dying to work on this car, but between work and home improvements time just flys by. The last time I put a wrench to it was last September. I'll be looking to make a lot of changes to it.

No modifications are needed to install the flares, however, being no mods are needed, the fenders are not altered where you would gain any clearance by using the flares (they are basically cosmetic). its a fine balance of having the wheels/tires fill the fender flare, but still stay under the...

These are all I have at the moment. The wheel centers will be black. I'm hoping to take more soon.

Hey guys, over the weekend I took some photos of the rear TT2 mocked up with the fender flare to see what kind of clearance I'll be dealing with. I ran a straight edge up to the fender lip to see where it will land, and yes, it appears that I'll need to trim/roll it back a bit. The tires are not...

Thanks again guys for the continued help.

53doggy, The chrome accents on the car work well with the polished wheels. I'll probably powder coat my centers black. Your car appears to have been lowered. If so,how far did you lower it?

Thanks. I really appreciate your help in clearing this up for me. It makes deciding what to buy that much easier.

Intrax springs. Guess what though? I thought they had an advertised drop of 2" in front and 1.8" rear, but I just checked their website to find that its actually 1.5"F and 1.2"R which is fine. Thanks for questioning me on that. I was havings buyers remorse thinking I went overboard in lowering...

Backspacing issue Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps I was being overly optomistic knowing already that 4.5 is the max. bs rule of thumb. I'll take the advice of those with personal experience over the measuring tape any day of the week. I guess thats why we are all here. :smile:

Torq Thrust II's - same question different wheel I'm pondering the same dilemma exactly as you except w/TT 2's instead. I've actually just purchased (2) 17x8's w/4" bs for the front. I intend to install 245's in either a 40 or 45. Being that I will be dropping the car 2" F & R (springs) I was...

Classic Industries - GTA's I have photos of new Classic front wheels (purchased in 2002) for which I am selling and have a sale pending. The wheels are still in my possession so I can get any photo or dimension that you would like. I haven't posted here 4X so I can't attach them here just yet...

Sale pending Thanks to those who took interest in the wheels/tires. Sale is pending.

For sale I have 4 front GTA wheels (never mounted) purchased from Classic Industries in 2002 along with 4 BF Goodrich g-Force Sport tires that were purchased this fall. My taste has changed so I have decided to go a different route with my wheel & tire combo. I want to sell this as a package...
