I have two "rears" that you could have made the width you'd want by Jim Lyon at True Design Wheel. He uses only the center piece from stock GTA wheels and reinstalls them into new outer rims, with the width and the rear spacing you want. So using some "rears" or "fronts" doesn't matter to him...Let me know if interested...
See 'ya!

I had a full set done by him last year. They looked great, I had him set the offset to GNX original offset specs. Now if I can get ahold of the prick that stole them out of my suburban.
How much did it cost? What were the offsets?

I had a set made in size 16"x10" with a rear spacing of 4.25" and they're perfect, no spacers needed and no rubbing at all. I also had another set made for the front in size 16"x5"...

P.S: To do the narrow 5" fronts properly, it's best to use GTA "rears" as Jim can cut only a 3" wide band at the rear of the wheel and re-weld the inner lip back on. This costs much less that having to use "fronts" which he must take apart, and reinstall into new 5" wide outer rims. The lip on the GTA "fronts" is too wide to make a 5" wide wheel that looks ok. It also makes the front tire too much "outside" under the wheel well and occasional rubbing on the plastic inner fender does happen every now and then. I know I did that mistake and had to have them redone!
