I have the chance to buy a set of RallyIII's (new GTO wheels) with tires for $300. They're the same bolt pattern as our cars, but I just wanted to see if anyone else here has done this or knows that they'll work right. They'll be going on my '86 T/A. If anyone can share pictures of this setup it would be cool too. Thanks

 

Well I got the wheels. Great shape with new BFG Gforce ta tires. I went to put them on the car and forgot about how far out our bearing housings sit :'( any one know of an alternative hub or whatever that would allow these wheels to fit?

 

How close are they to fitting? If they are close you could use a dremmel with a drum sander to make the hole a bit bigger. Post some pics as I have no idea what the gto rims look like.

 

here's one with the rims sitting by the car, and one with the stock rims next to the rally3's

 

Not close enough for that. and I don't want to do any damage to the new rims so I can sell them if they don't fit. I'm thinking I just need to find a different wheel bearing assembly, if that's even possible.

 

Those GTO rims have 5x120mm bolt pattern. Our cars have 5x120.65mm or 4.75". Only .65mm difference, not enough to matter. That is like the thickness of 2-3 sheets of paper. I am using wheels with the 5x120mm pattern that came off a BMW with 1.25" adapters. They will bolt right on with the correct adapter to make up the difference in backspacing. Look at the 17" giovanna thread to see proof.

 

Totally forgot about adapters. Know a good place where I could get the right set? I'm not even sure what size I'll need. I can't find the specs.

 

ebay is where I got mine. I ordered 4 http://motors.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_...dapters&_sacat=
Put a straight edge across the back edge of your wheel from one side to the other. Then measure down to the back of the center where it bolts to your hub. That is your backspaceing. Do the same to the GTO wheel. Subtract the difference and get wheel adapters close to that measurement.

 

Stock camaro rims have 4.25 backspace. My giovannas have about 5 5/8" backspace thats why I went with 1.25 adapters so they set close to stock in the wheel wells. Go to big on the adapters and your tires will rub on the fender lip.

 

Did you figure out what size spacer you need?

 

I just started a new job so I haven't actually had time to work on it yet :/ As soon as I get the parts ordered and installed, I'll be sure to post pics
