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

[Turbo Zach]

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.

You missed the important detail. I have two inch drop spindles! That creates problems with wheel fitment. Those rims are just a feeler if I like the look or not. Those rims and tires will be for sale. I have another set of Kirban GNX rims with out tires that are nicer. I think it needs a two inch taller tire and a little wider for the rear. A little shorter and skinnier tire on the front. If I end up liking it. I want to sell that set and put tires on the other rims.

I just seem to have a soft spot for 5 spoke wheels on 3rd gen Monte Carlo's

I have a set of Crager SS rims with 15 inch cheater slicks on them. For my 70 Nova. I put them on the rear once to see what it looked like. The car looked really old and out dated with those. Some cars look awsome with them, but not my black Monte. I guess color has a lot to play with how a rim looks on a car. I think on a white or light blue car the GNX wheel looks cool.

The Rears are 16mm/17mm offset, the Fronts are zero offset. 16mm/25.4mm = .63 inches.

If Fronts have 4"BS, the Rears have 4.63" BS.

If you measure BS at the wheel lip instead of the wheel face, you'll probably get very close to 5" BS.

I notice a problem with the new Kenwood deck I installed a few days ago in my GP, it looses over 5 minutes a day on the clock. Think I'll warranty that one, spend a couple of hundred more and get the Alpine 149BT. The Alpine has a better display, more user friendly and I think better quality.

nice job and I like the welding, what did you use to bend the metal?

We have a iron worker at work that bends steal plates

JKing78, I started making my own G-force type double hump when I stumbled across G-force by accident over 10 years ago when I built the big block. They were only like $179 then so I thought why bother given I didn't have all the fabrication tools I needed. Probably couldn't have made it cheaper. $229 today still ain't bad. Nice to know you have tools beyond just welding ability.

PontiacGP, I have a slightly used Kenwood KDC998 Excelon you can have for dirt. Great unit but I need to upgrade my Tacoma to double DIN because my eyes have gotten so worthless I cannot read the display. Not the unit's fault. Distance vision is perfect but lupus is slowly taking my short vision somehow? Bifocals don't help. And now, I'm approaching TMI alert . . . [sorry]

$200 unit. Like $75 shipped? Year old.

Let me know, otherwise I will do a proper posting in the for sale thread.

Don't let G-Force find out.

I know 2 people on MalibuRacing that built there own and got letters in the mail from there lawyers for patent rights infringement.

Looks great though!!!!!
