...1983 GLX that has the TRX with Handling Pkg?
I found a set of the stock 14" that I'd like to replace the
now-unsafe TRX, just wanted to be sure brakes and other components
wont be in the way of those 14".
Thanks!

Yes, they will. When I had my '84 GT convertible, it was originally equipped with the TRX wheels. I refurbished a set of the 14" cast aluminum wheels, got a new set of tires and had a shop swap them out .

Same as Gemini...yes they will fit no problem. Not sure what the difference was in the "TRX package" other than maybe springs or struts/shocks...but the brakes were all the same. I use to own a set of 14" that I would put on my 82 GT and 83 GT (TRX cars) on occasion for driving...to preserve the original TRX tires.

Cool - Thanks guys!
Trx package could give ya metric sized tires. They are around 15.4" and the tires cost about $600 a piece.
14" rims fit fine with 10" front discs. 15" would be required if you swap to the later 11" gt brakes.

How about tire sizes? Would 215/70-14 work front and rear? Anything larger?
TireRack.com doesn't have much in the standard 205/70-14 size, and a centimeter wider wouldn't be bad...
as long as it doesn't rub on anything. Keeping stock brakes on it too.
Thanks again
Run a tire size calculator.
I like the tocoma world calculator. It just done really well. It helps visualize and show differences in sizes.
