Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
Wow. I never thought I'd say I liked the polished wheels over the graphite ones. Are the graphite 17's? They look tiny. Beautiful car as always, Zepher.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
Stiff springs, weight jacks and the standard 18x9.5's would get you real close though.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
All Vette weels can fit. It is just a matter of what size adapters you will need, if the wheels are 16" wheels or larger.
If you around before making your first post to ask a question that not only has been answered, a billion times, but there is even a Sticky at the very top of this Forum that talks about it.

I want to see the new chrome Corvette ZR1 rims on a Firebird, I think it would look sweet.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
Yes. You have to search my friend. The same rule goes with any forum you join. The newer you are to the forum and to the hobby the more likely it is that your question is very common and has been answered multiple times. If everyone answered your question you would be more likely to ask again next time without searching. So before telling people to relax proper forum etiquette should be followed. We know your anxious to have all of your questions answered but take your time and have fun I think you will be surprised on how much faster you can get you hands on loads of information with a few clicks of a mouse. 30 seconds got me this. Here you go.

Also, introduce yourself before you ask such questions you wouldn't go walking up to a random group of people who have third gens asking them all about what corvette wheels fit. Or maybe you would. Just some constructive criticism.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
Really nice ride, i will like to know how you made the wheels fit that bird. I have a set of black w/polished lip from a 1987 vette and want to put them on my 91 firebird but i think i will need some kind of adapter and i do not know much about that. They are 17x9.5 offset +38mm and hub 70.68mm, can you help me with this?, thanks.

(iansane)That wheel looks outstanding on your car. I would love a set of those for my car. Might give it some new life.

this is a picture of my car about 10 years ago, on the day I moved from NY to VA. Goodbye 20 degrees and 6" of snow and hello 60* and sunny in December.

cal30, I was wondering that myself. Regardless, I absolutely love the look of the black z06's! Such a shame it got hit...

You guys are right, my bad. Just remember hearing "GTA" from the person who bought it from my friend.

Sadly it is. But, it's the reason why my dash is no longer cracked.
Back on topic though, anybody else with Vette wheels?

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
OEWheels is awesome. I ordered a 17 X 9.5 set for my 98 Camaro, and a staggered set of 20 X 8.5/10's for my 07 Mustang and have had nothing but good to say about them. They look great and the price has not been beat. Now that Ive seen yours on a car similar to mine, I may take a second look to see if those may not look better than the black ones I planned to get. Looks great. Those 17's or 18's?
