What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

[UNGN]

Had to grind on my tighrods to get my new wheels to fit.

That is pretty typical with GTA's. What brakes/spindles do you have in front? Are the Wheels GTA Rears or Fronts?

GTA fronts. 4 inch backspacing. Stock brakes with 2 inch drop spindles. Do not remember the brand.

Changed rims from trans am 17x9 ws6 rims to these i picked up over the weekend.

On my T-type, I run GTA Rears in front with stock spindles modded for 12" brakes (which space the wheels out 3/8" or so). With GTA Fronts in front with big brakes, you have to do fender lip surgery to get 245 and larger tires not to rub, so rears give a little more room.

I had to round the tie rod ends on mine to run the rears in front without a spacer - show below with my 12" B-Body brakes (I don't think Rears in front possible without a spacer using the stock brakes because the wheel hits the spindle arm)

I am not sure if they are fronts or rears. They all have 4 inch backspacing. Came off a t type. The other set I have are a little different. Center cap holes are smaller, but rims are nicer.

Had to grind on my tighrods to get my new wheels to fit. Then I took it for a quick spin. Don't know if I like the look of that style of rim on my car. I think I like my polished wheels beter. What do you think.View attachment 70981

I like the polished wheels better.

The GTA wheels should say "front" or "rear" on the back side. 4" BS are Fronts. The Rears are closer to 4.6". The other wheels look like Kirban's GNX wheel that were made by Enkie.

 

[el camino ss 84]

I thought the rear gtas were more like 5 to 5 1/2 backspacing and the fronts were 4inch. On both my Malibu and El Camino I didn't have to do anything since they fit perfect no spacer's or grinding tie rods to get them to fit and I was using 4 fronts gas with 225's front tires and 255's rear tires. You monte carlo looks better with the gtas then the polished wheels to me.

Made a sweet storage cart to move my doors around the garage. I even get to show off the new door sitting on it.
