gta wheels on a grand national

[we2man]

Hi, Im sure most of you probably think this is a dumb question! However how do you make gta wheels fit on a TR? It seems i've been told before how they fit but i've forgotten. Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks!!!

Found on the Junkyard Dog Donor list-


Wheels- GTA / Trans Am
Pontiac GTA rim manufacturer: JWL (Japan Light Alloy Wheel)
Manufacturer info: JAWA | Objective
GTA rims were available only in 16x8.
The Pontiac GTA’s came fitted with these rims from 87-92.
GTA 86-88 are the non-dimpled 2-piece design.
GTA 89-92 are the dimpled 1-piece design.
The GTA’s are marked “front” and “rear”.
Front offset:
Front backspacing: 4.75”
Rear offset
Rear backspacing: 5.25”
Notes: It has been stated that the dimpled style is more desirable. The reason GM made the dimpled style was because the non dimpled style center hub was weak and was prone to cracking. In addition, 4 fronts are more desirable due to the offset.
If you run 12" brakes in front, rears will actually fit better than fronts, due to the 3/8" increase in track width per side of 12" brakes.
or … If you plan on having the front wheels narrowed, for drag racing or a big/little look, the "rears" will work better if narrowed than "fronts".

NOTE: Set of four FRONT GTA WHEELS 16 X 8" from the early Turbo Trans Amdon't require spacers!
