black gta wheel(s) for sale or trade.looking for one front gta wheel,will trade .

[turboterror]

I just bought a set of five gta wheels. I have four rears and one front. What I want to end up with is either 4 fronts or two rears and two fronts. Im willing to trade around or sell .Could anyone tell me how I would make these gta
wheels properly fit a 86 gn? I know its popular to run four fronts or two rears and two fronts,does anyone have a
front wheel and need a rear wheel? if so maybe we could trade?

4 fronts is the best route to go. some run rears with a spacer, i"m not to big on spacers though. good luck

Yeah that seems to be the generally accepted way to go. I guess I should be asking what is the best way to make four rear wheels work? I have heard lots of configarations such as 4 fronts, two rears on front and two fronts on
rear and just all rears. I found a great deal on these wheels close to me on good old cl and hopefully I can make
these work since I have 4 rears and one front(which I plan to use as a spare) What size spacers should I get if I decide to go this route? what problems might I encounter?

 

[BIGPSI]

not sure on spacer size. i think some have used 5/16 on frt to use rear wheels. i dont think rears will fit on the rear unless a bolt on spacer is used. maybe someone with more knowledge on this will chime in

 

[turboterror]

That was kind of my line of thinking only use bolt on spacers for each wheel. I had a s10 one time that had them on it when I bought it and I
never had any issues. I think its kind of wierd how the front wheels have a deeper dish than the rears. You can def tell as I did get
one front wheel with the other 4 rears. Maybe I can just find another front wheel,put them on the back and run bolt on spacers in the front for the rears.

Wheels

I run ta wheels on my car. You can run 4 fronts or, fronts on front, no spacers. Rears on rear with a 1 1/4" spacer bolted to the drum, then bolt the wheel to the spacer. I have a brand new pair of spacers for $75.00 plus the ride. Try to find 1 more front. Rears on front require a 5/16 spacer and longer front wheel studs. Good luck.

I think I have a line on another front wheel. The wierd thing is that the fronts have a deeper dish and should look better in the rear,
would it work to use those spacers u have to run the rear wheels in the front and not look too stupid. should I expect vibration or is it smooth. what configaration do u run

Here is some more excellent info:

1984 1985 1986 1987 Buick Regal Grand National Turbo T T-Type GNX BILLET WHEEL ADAPTERS (2) #7116

There is also a really good article on Turbo Regal Web Site that has info.

 

[turboterror]

Yes I have been scoping that site and it has some great info on it also. I looked at those spacers, someone on ebay sells them,
gnpowermasters I think. I think to really nail the look I need to do two fronts on the rear and two rears on the front. I do think that
those bolt on adapters-spacers are the way to go to make the rears in the front work. at least I already have one front wheel and 4
rear ones. Ill just buy some bolt on spacers for the front and find another front wheel for the back.

I have 6 reconditioned (like brand new) GTA rears in boxes that came with the white car I bought. Been thinking about selling them. Only car I would put them or would fit on would be Thumper but already have Simmons FR 17's on there.

 

[turboterror]

I think I just found two more front gta wheels on car-part.com.Im ordering them as we speak. so now I will only need one more.

 

[turboterror]

shipping them to me.Now I only need one!!!

 

[BIGPSI]

that is the best way to go. i bought a whole set,re sold the rears and got ttwo more fronts. so all 4 fronts. i then bought two more fronts and put 275/55/16 M&H drag radials on them
