Lee Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Over on the tires catagory they are coming up with "all gen-1 x-laces are 8" wide. 97+ are 6.5" That just doesn't sound right to me. The TGP has the wide ones only, right? They have to support the 245 tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareGMFan Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 That is actually correct. All the Gen I crosslaces were the same, so they're all 16" x 8" with a 25mm offset. JNGTP measured his a little while back on his '94, and came up with the same thing. Trust me, GM is not going to make different sized identicle looking wheels for one model. Since the offset had to change in '97 anyways for the Gen II, and they had no intention of putting fatty tires on them, they went with the skinnier wheels. That's why some Gen II guys get the crosslaces to put slicks on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I gotta update my brain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92 GP Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 lol, ya didn't beleive me huh? I told ya'll in that thread i measured the ones on my '92, the STOCK ones, and they're 8", and yea JN95GTP has STOCK crosslaces on his and they are 8" wide. So, i'll state what i've said twice before. Gen I Crosslaces are 16x8" (the flat-faced) Gen II are 16x6.5", with a bit of a twist to them and a retarded offset by the looks of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
