ok whats your back spacing, cause I have gta's with spacers and have been thinking about calling brian from gbody to have my wheels redone to gnx spec so i dont need spacers and the tires clear. I just dont want the tires to stick out like a 4x4

I have 2 sets of gtas, the thing is they aren't perfect. So I am either going to get the repros or get my set of nondimpled redone.
I'd see about getting them fixed. May be cheaper.

CI has the set of 4 $700 plus shipping and they have 20percent off this month. The right back spacing all 4 the same size wheels. It's in one deal. You don't have to ask for 4 fronts. Then there are lots of deals on eBay for the center caps for $60 . Hope this helps
Check out the pics in my gallery. Rears are 3 1/2" bs with 255/50/16 and front are 4 1/8" bs with 245/50/16. True GNX have -23 offset rears which i believe equates to about 3 7/16" bs and fronts are -15 which equates to about 3 15/16" bs. so mine are pretty close, alot closer than GTA wheels at 4 1/2" bs. Never liked the way the front GTA didn't quite fill the rear wheelwell.
No issues and they dont stick out like a 4x4
This is on an 87 with stock ride height so your results may vary.

Thanks Matt this is the info I have been looking for. Who did your rims, I have 4 non dimpled rims that I would like to have redone this winter. I also have a set of dimpled wheels that I am gonig to put on there for the winter. I have seen the ci wheels the look ok, but I prefer a highly polished inside and out with a powder coated mesh center. And like I said I don't want spacers. Even with a 255 on a stock from or ci repro you still need a 1/8 space depending on what brand tire it is. There a new 255 dr that I would like to try out, seeing after I paint it I am only got to drive it on nice days.Check out the pics in my gallery. Rears are 3 1/2" bs with 255/50/16 and front are 4 1/8" bs with 245/50/16.

The 20% does not apply to those wheels
aren't those the same as Classic Industries has for $699 sans caps/lugs ?

I have a set of GTA non-dimpled front getting done right now. Centers done, lips repaired and high polished. 135.00 a piece in Howard Co MD at a place called Ye Olde Wheel Shop. Excellent work for years.

I think I paid $200/wheel to have Wheel Works in Burlington NJ do mine years ago. I supplied the rims (the welded version...non-dimpled ones). Wheel Works cut out the center and rewelded it in to my backspacing specs (3.5" for the rears and 3.75" for the fronts), polished the rim barrel and repainted the center. Nice job and I'd recommend him to anyone.
