Probably better to just get aftermarket wheels since the GSL-SE has a real bolt pattern.

Since the wheel hubs are one big unit and have the brake discs and wheel bearings in them you are basically looking at a whole suspension swap to get the T2 hubs in there.

not really, get in touch with Billy from ReSpeed he sells a TT2 Big brake set up wich i have on my 85 you need to get the 2nd gen 5 lug wheel hubs, TT2 brake calipers and brake rotors. Then redrilled the rear axels to 5 lug and good 2 go.I used the 2nd gen 4 lug hubs to keep the GLS-SE lug pattern.
