GS will be 4x110mm. You cannot run 4x4.5inch, (4x114.3mm) unless you swap to the GSL-SE suspension.

You need a 4x110mm bolt pattern. You also have to watch the offset, I run a 20mm offset.

you're question's been answered, but here's a little tip for future reference...

you can use google to do unit conversions
simply search Xorig_units in new_units
example
110mm to inches

Jegs does not sell 4X110 wheels. The 4X4-3/4 that you're looking at is the Imperial equivilent of the 4X114.3 metric bolt pattern that fits the GSL-SE. The numbers you quoted have nothing to do with rims size, only the bolt pattern or PCD.

The question you think you're asking, but aren't, is the rim width. Stock + pattern wheels are 13X5.5. Now, if you do find a site where you can order wheels with the 4X110 bolt pattern, please let the forum know.

take metric dimension and devide by 25.4 to get inches. 110/25.4=4.331. alittle over 4 21/64. the 4x110 pattern is hard to find in the aftermarket. u can use adapters to convert to a more available pattern or change to the gsl-se suspension. and like previously mentioned, a machine shop can redrill a set of wheels for the pattern u want.

I need to make a correction. 114.3 mm = 4.5", not 4-3/4"
