Are these wheels right for a GTA

Postby blueg33 » Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:54 pm

Sorry can't search properly from the Blackberry. Would these be right for the GTA? PCD is 4x100

Front - 16" x 7.5j ET30

Rear - 16"x 9j ET 15

Thanks Lee, the fronts were my worry

I reckon I can get 2 sets or Borbet A's to fit the GTA, I have to buy 4 wheels to suit the front and 4 to suit the back! So if I do that I will have a spare set available

The challenge is the offset on the front

Be very careful with offsets on GTA's. Don't make this same mistake:

et 30 on a 7.5j rim will push the wheel out by about 14mm per side, I think the rears are spot on.

The wheels I am looking at are Borbet A's. I think they look good. I Can buy a set for around £400 which is only a little more than the price of a 255 rear tyre on the 15 inch standard wheels
