18" GTA Rims
Anyone ever seen these? I've seen lots of threads with people clamoring for a 18" option. Little pricey but look sweet. I love the Bandit shoutout with the Buford-T name. LOL

Re: 18" GTA Rims
G Body parts is producing something much more accurate to the GM wheel in an 18" since the Grand Nationals got them. I don't know how the offsets work with the F-body for what they produce, they were supposed to do offsets for the F-body though

Re: 18" GTA Rims
I was reading on some G body forum about the 18x9 backspacing. Someone measured the backspacing and it was actually 4.75 and not the 4.25 listed on G body parts site. So that means if you mounted a 275/35-18 that would make the tire flush with the fender lip. Of course if you have any brake upgrade larger than stock its going to stick out a bit. That is a no go for me, plus the fact that its only 9 inches wide and not 9.5 or 10. If they were 18x10 with 6 inch backspace or +12 offset I would be sold.

I would like to thank everyone for sticking it out with us. This has been a lot more complicated road than the Grand National Aluminum Wheels. We now have the center caps that will not need metal retainers and will not fly off. The most FAQ questions: What sizes are available and what off sets What do they weigh
18 x 8 4 back spacing 23 lbs.
18 x 9 4-1/4 back spacing 24 lbs.
19 x 9.5 4-3/8 back spacing 28 lbs.

Re: 18" GTA Rims
You could always get some HRE 501s, but spending more on wheels that the entire car is worth is not something most will do.
