I am thinking about buying a set of 16” X 8” GTA wheels for my 87 GN
They look very similar to GNX wheels.
The car is 100% stock if it matters.
Log pattern seems to be the same, however I am not too sure about the offset.
Will it fit ok? or I’ll be facing rubbing issues

Thanks
Steve

Yes! That is what most every one uses as GNX clone wheels. However, use 4 FRONT wheels. The rears have a huge offset that won't play whell with either end of your GN. If you can't procure used ones, you can get new ones from http://www.classicindustries.com/

You can use the rears also, but you need to use spacers. :nono:

The fronts are NO longer available from classic industries. Apparently the equipment/molding used to make them has broken(that's what CI tol me.) :( :( So predict the used fronts to increase in value!

That really isn't terribly safe. I wouldn't recommend doing it.

So they "broke the mold", eh? You'd think they'd be able to make them for at least a few more decades... ;)
