GNX rim size

[okfoz]

I am just wondering if someone knows the GNX rim size were they the 16x8's like the T/A or are they different???

Yes, they are 16x8s.

However, they are different offsets than the T/A rims. The T/A rims are zero offset for the fronts and something like 20mm??? negative offset for the rears. Real GNX rims are 15mm positive offset for the fronts and 23mm positive offset for the rears.

Positive offset = less backspacing...wheels sit further out
Negative offset = more backspacing...wheels sit further in

Stickybones is right.

If you decide to get some, make sure you get 4 fronts off of a TA. Then use a billet 1.25" spacer on back and a 5/16" spacer on front. This will get you close to what the actual GNX had for offset.
If you decide not to space the back the wheels , they will set too far in. It won't look too bad that way unless you decide to install the GNX fender flares. HTH...
