So, stupidly I bought two sets of GTA wheels from Year One, and just found out they are all rear wheels, 16x8 w/ 16mm offset. Can I use rears on the front with a spacer?

SCEditor is running a 3rd gen if his plans are still the same from NASA Forums.
You can run 3rd gen rear offset wheels on the front with a spacer, you just have to clear the tie rod end, that's the common clearance issue. Fronts have 4.5" backspace, rears have ~5.125". If you press ARP studs into the front brakes, you can run Mr. Gasket 7/16" wheels spacers and you'll almost get back to stock front offset. Most people say those spacers look like crap, but they work. I've run them on my car for over a year with no problems. Just make sure you have good studs. |
