    Default 02 firebird wheels

    i got these for free a while back and was just wondering if they would fit the G8, they are 16" X 8" 5 lug. i was just about to chunk them. but i thought if i could use them i would.

    No, you need at least a 17" rim. Brake caliper rub.

    Do you know for a fact? I've read that before too, but I haven't heard of anyone actually trying it. I'm not doubting you, I'm just wondering if you've tried it youself, or know that it's been tried. I've got a set of 16" Firebird wheels that I've been meaning to try out, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

    Not only that the bolt pattern is slightly different.

    G8 is 5 x 120
    F-body is 5 x 4 3/4 which comes out to 5 x 120.65
