GNX Reproduction Wheels

[roger1]

What size tire are you running?

Wheels are 16"X 8" zero offset.
Front 225/55R-16
Rear 255/50R-16:

Needed a 1/4 spacer in the rear - had to put longer studs in the axles, not a big deal. Front was no problem.

Wish they had 11" wide wheels, I've always liked these on a gbody.

If anyone is curious, these wheels fit quite nice. 19x9.5 with 4 3/8" back spacing. I'm going to have to do some very minor inner fender lip trimming, but very little, maybe a 1/8th of an inch, or less. Just wanted to give folks an update

Is your car lowered @ all? Mine is. I'm using 8" wheels @ 4.25" back spacing & I had to slightly trim the lip of the wheel/quarter panel opening. With only an additional 1/8" of back spacing but 1.5" more width, I know the 9.5"/4.375BS combo would NOT work on my set-up *unless the rear end was narrowed*.

You make your own. Like I will be.

Yes my car is on eibach springs, 2" drop all round (roughly). I did have to trim a bit of the inner fender trim piece, fender is still super solid. Here is the car with all 4 wheels, everything feels good and absolutely no rubbing:

Are you still using a stock width rear end?
What size tire are you running?

The Malibu I did has an OE 7.5 housing, 27" tall tire, & @ >/=3" drop w/the tire tucked into the well using the previously mentioned 8" wheel/4.25bs combo. Didn't think there was that much diff between body styles but apparently there might be.

Beautiful!
Same sized tires as me.
Stock axle? If so, did you have to put in a spacer like I had to do?

10 bolt 8.5
No spacer

Without the spacer, I had one side less than 1/8" from the frame while the other side had about 1/4". I felt that was a little too close.
