Wheel adapters
Ive had my eye on a set of SSR longchamps however they're 4x114.3 and my 82' GSL is 4x110 (as I'm sure most of you know.) Is it a bad idea to use wheel adapters to fit the SSRs or am I wasting my time? I have Rota RBs on the car that are 110 right now but I'd really like to put the SSRs on the car.

It is was spendy do to this. So I would recommend going to the 4x100 pattern because there are way more wheel choices that are lighter and cheaper than anything available with the 4x114.3 pattern.

Many people here run adapter/spacer setups since the 4x110 pattern is almost impossible to find a new wheel for anymore. With yours being a GSL you have lug studs instead of lug nuts that thread onto studs pressed into the rear axles and front hubs (like a GSL-SE). So you'd need to also purchase high quality lug studs that can clear the spacer underneath the wheels.

Since you have a 1982 model, wheel adapters would be the easiest. The other option would be to change out your shock towers for 1984/1985 big spindle and use GSL-SE brakes/rotors. For the rear, you can always have the axles redrilled.
