GNX wheels won't fit....the bolt pattern is probably right, but the backspacing is way off. They'll probably stick way out.

Check all the usual wheel places, maybe you can find a wheel that looks similar, but larger. I think the GNX wheels were only 16x8.

GNX wheels will not fit your fbody, and im almost sure the bolt pattern is even different, but you may check the 89 turbo TA wheels, they will probably bolt up, but as stated before, the backspacing is different. not the most common wheel swap, so may be difficult to find some that will fit.

No need for adapters - the opposite is true. A 4th gen wheel on a GN would need an adapter. The GNX wheels would stick out too far on a 4th gen car.

GNX wheels and GTAs look the same, but offsets are different.

To run GTA's on a G Body, you need 4 "Front" wheels. Any G body wheel has too much backspacing to work on a 4th gen.

Either way I think the wheel would look hideous on our cars.

I bet they would look good on a f-body only if they'd fit. I have two sets of them in my garage. I've always wanted to see what a set of black zr1s would look like on my Gn.

Those look really good on that GN.

Little off topic, but how would a set of 4th gen rims fit on a 2nd gen? Close at all on the bolt pattern or not even close?

Look at the wheels from the Year One, they look very similar with the honeycomb design.

haha, I've got the ZR1's too...mine are hyper black, but this pic doesn't really show it off. They look polished during the day and look gunmetal at night.
