Here they are. I've had them on for a month or more now, thought I'd post some pics. BTW, those tires were too tall (275/60/15) so I've put some 275/50/15 Nitto drag radials on since the pic. I've also added some 4.10's behind my 6-speed and I put on my self-converted LT1 intake last week! I can't wait to get to the track.


*I know someone will say I ruined the originality of my GTA, but I'm not selling it and I like it. BTW- I'm looking for the 17" version of the factory GTA wheels. Didn't they put them on some C4 corvettes?? Later

what size rear wheels and BS are those? How did the 275/60's fit? any clearance problems? I'm running the 275/50's on my prostars right now, but i'm considering going to the taller tire, and i wanna see if i'm gonna have problems making it fit

Wow, I love that color. :hail:

Absolutely amazing!!!:hail: :hail: :hail:

I can't wait to get Weld rims for my GTA, after seeing yours I know it will look great!

Knight350

I don't think you ruin the orginality! The wheels look pretty damn good!
I wish my paint was that dark on my 91 gta (white)..

Looks good, keep it going and don't rip it too hard on the track!!

I am going to be the odd one out. I dont like those wheels. To me they look like a set of swap meet wheels that some guys put on their cut spring'd ranger. I know they are quality wheels, just not my taste.
Do you have any track times before the 4.10s and LT1 intake?

WOW! Thanks for all the nice replies guys! I think it turned out pretty good. Now if I could just get my RA I hood for it and some fresh paint!


*As for the 275/60s fitting... they fit but hit on EVERY hard bump. I'm sure some air shocks or new springs would've cured that but I wanted 275/50 nittoa anyways!


Shawn- hope to see ya soon!


Thats cool man, you're intitled to your opinion! I like it though and thats what matters right? Anyways, before the intake and 4.10's it only got 2 1/4 mile passes but quite a few 1/8th mile passes. My best was a 8.75@81mph with a crappy 2.10 60' time on nittos even That should equate to about a 13.5@101mph or so. It normally ran high 8.8's to low 8.9's with bad 60's. It was good for consistent high 13s with a bad clutch I'm thinking now it should go LOW 13s with maybe a 12.99 in there somewhere. It all depends on the launch with the 6spd and 4.10s. Later man

BTW- all those ETs were with gasket matched iron L98 heads, a LT4 hotcam, stock bottom end, and completely stock TPI setup except for a ported/siamesed stock intake base. I also pulled 275RWHP and 330RWTQ with the old intake setup. I'm hoping for closer to 300 now.

love the car but dont care for the wheels either im sure they hook well tho

raptere

hey i think thoes wheels do look pritty nice. but what do you think about that rubber or the origional rubber you said you used to have how do they hook up can you floor it rite off the line or at least drop it from a reasonable rpm i am runing an auto so i would tork brake it at about 2k. i am concidering new tires/wheels.

What sizes are your wheels with diamitor back spacing and what size exactly tires are thoes

Thanks

Hey GTA91 wanna trade GTA's??? I have alot more done to my motor and with the 150 shot of nitrous bottle going empty half way down the 1/8th mile I got 8.73. You make me jealous.

I feel the same way. I am more of an open spoke kind of guy.

Well, I've actually changed wheels since then. Those rear wheels stuck out too far b/c of my 4th gen rearend so I got the correct 15x8" rears now with 5.5" backspacing. The tires I'm running now are 275/50/15 Nitto drag radials. In those pictures up above I was running 275/50/15 BFG Radial TAs. Here are a few pics of how it looks now....

BTW, my best run to date is 13.62 @ 101 with a 1.92 60' That was with the LT1 intake and 4.10s with NO tuning. It was way too lean and I ended up trashing the bottom end shortly after those runs. Now it is fully balanced with shorty headers and TPI again. It feels pretty good... I need to run it b4 the tracks close! It doesn't really matter anyways, I've got big plans for the car






I think it looks alot better, what do you guys think? Now I need to save for new paint, a RA I hood, and some 4th gen 17" WS6 wheels

87rediroc

Wow. Looks great. Is that car as fast as it looks?

GTA91

iTrader: (1)

mid 13s right now.... I haven't run it since I put the new motor in but it should still only be mid/low 13s. Not bad for a stock longblock, siamesed TPI, cam, exhaust, ignition. It will be as fast as it looks in the coming months

87rediroc

Awesome. Nice job GTA91!

Even though I run my factory GTA wheels on both my cars, I also have a set of Weld Draglites too. I occasionally get the hot rod urge, i stick em on & run em for a little while. But I always go back to the factory ones. Looks killer on that car though!!!!

formul8!!

I have seen the car in person down in Bowling Green,KY and it is very nice.

Doesn't the car have a ton of miles on it too? If so, it is really clean!!

To those who mentioned "originality" of the car, they are wheels and can be change back at anytime. Sheeesh.

BTW, Jeremy- a set of RONALS would look sooooo good.....

FyreLance

I personally think the original rims would look a lot better on there. I'm not a big fan of those rims on that particular car but glad you like them. I'm also an open-spoke kinda guy, but those rims can look pretty nice on the Camaros and the 85-90 Trans-Ams, and on fourth-gens... I just really don't care for them on the 91-92 style.

Still a sweet car though.

Thanks for the compliments man. It was great seeing you again this year at BGKY! The car has 177k miles on it and is basically the original paint and interior. It is pretty clean for the mileage but is no show queen. It needs alot of attention right now and I hope to address that this winter after I graduate college and find a job! As for originality... they are only wheels. I've already ruined the originality though, swapping 305-350, T5-T56, and 3rd gen rear- 4th gen rear. Who cares, I planon keeping it forever anyways!

As for Ronals, I'm really thinking about a set of those or else some 17" Gold GTA style wheels or maybe 4th gen 17" WS6 rims. The only bad thing about Ronals is that I have a 4th gen rear and they'd stick out Oh well, I can always get a 3rd gen rear when I go 12bolt/9"

BLURR

Dude your car is fine. You got any pics of the inside.

raptere

does any one know the back spacing on a stock rear end on a 1991 camaro. That will acomidate 15"-9-10" WHeels and a 195 or 175 wide tire?
