Re: GNX Wheels?
I have them on my rat syclone, well black TTA rims. The fronts are a tad too wide. With 1 fender cladding missing it looks real funny.
Ideally the fronts need to tuck under truck about 1/2". Rears are fine. I already looked not really enough material to machine from back to help the rims tuck in, or I would have already done that.

Re: GNX Wheels?
you might be able to get away with 2 sets of fronts or 2 sets of rears ? they have different offsets .i don't remember which way it works but buick guys buy either 2 sets of fronts(or rears) SO THEY HAVE ALL 4 WITH THE SAME OFFSET or you might be able to put rears on the front and the front on the rears since they have different offsets !

Re: GNX Wheels?
I have 2 fronts and 2 rears. The rears work best on rear, front on front. Front rims have the least amount of offset (as looking from face of rim). They are still about 1/2" too wide. If you put rear on front you would need to order up OVERWIDTH yellow banner for the tailgate.
They do work, just not ideal.

Re: GNX Wheels?
iv done alot of hunting on this subject. true GNX wheels will not work at all as they all have a neg.off set...frts. are -15..rears are -23 thats why they have such a deeep dish. spacers only make it worse

GTA wheels will fit if you use all rear rims(16mm o/s),but will stick out of the front wheel wells 27mm,or just over an inch,if you can live with that. they will fit fine in the rear.
once in a while i see rims on ebay that will work...Riken,Enkei both make a set with a 38mm off-set that work. i posted a link to the last set i found last month.. i have a set that test fitted perfect,soo i sent them out for refinishing. ill have them on the truck in a month or soo.
they're out there,just gotta really look. i found 3 sets in my searching. thought some of the guys here might be intrested soo i 'linked' them,but no one responded...
