My question is did the gts rims come from the factory in 14x8? The seller is in a different town so hard to tell over the phone. thanks

Called either a sport or rally rim. There were 2 types of rims. 14x6.00JK, and 14x6.00JJ ('74 onward). The JK was canadian built, and the JJ GMH built.

The center is the same but it just has a 15 inch rim around it. You can do the same with your 14" GTS rims, looks a whole lot better....

They are as far as I know GTS centres in a different 14x6" rim. If my memory serves me correct the actual rim is the same hoop as a HK 6" 'rally' rim. Also based upon
