I have sort of a build thread going here.. http://turbobuick.com/forums/threads/pulling-60k-mile-engine-for-the-first-time.389246/
Info on GTA wheels
- Thread starter justabuickv6
- Start date
I have a brand new set with caps, correct lugnuts, black lug nut covers, and new tires. I'd probably let them go close to what I paid if someone close wants them. Otherwise I'm holding on to them in case I ever do a GNX clone.

I've got rears on rear using adapter from Kirbans. Works perfect. Used the hub centric adapters from their site.
Fronts have an issue. They hit the lower ball joint. Tried a 1/4" spacer....not enough. Need another 1/4" anyway....a total of 1/2 inch would do it. This way u have the wider lip in the rear for that gnx look.
Working on my solution for fronts in front!
Why don't my fronts fit? Stock GN spindle and suspension.....stock dimpled GTA wheels.....

1-Damaged or worn front end parts, repair and replace such item's then your fronts should work.
2-Have wheel's balanced.

Thx for the replies fellas.
Wheels are balanced...245/55's and suspension is all new and set up correctly.
I had a good look under there today again...its just the edge of the balljoint that is making contact. Without the 1/4" spacer though it would be way worse and not even mount flush. I have confirmed I have two rears and two fronts. Rears on the rear look way better...really give it a meaty look.
Still trying to figure out whats wrong here though...

Thanks man! Getting ready to order some, but didn't want to order something that wouldn't fit
I came across these GTA rims for sale from Jegs. I am interested in buying them, but I cannot get a straight answer as to whether or not they appear like a stock front GTA rim. The picture doesn't show the width of the lip near the black mesh center and the representative that I spoke to at Jegs was less than helpful. He told me that the only picture he had was the one on the site. Anybody have these (0 offset) on their GN/Turbo T currently? I have sent a request for a different picture of the rim to OER, but have not gotten a response from them.
