Hey does anyone know if a set of 2002 Camaro 9X17" rims fit on a Fiero? Are the bolt patterns the same? If I have a chevy 350 V8 will the rim clear the water pump drive system which extends into the wheel well???

I believe there is a considerable difference in the wheel offset between the stock wheels for both cars so that with an adapter they would stick even further out from under the wheel well on the Fiero.

any RWD will not fit because the offset will be opposite what you need.
Ok, maybe not ALL RWDs but all of them that I can think of right now.

The reason I thought about the 4th generation Camaro is their backspace and offset is similar to front drives. Even a monster 17x11 wheel has a 50mm offset and about a 7 3/4" backspace. Way too huge for a Fiero, but you get an idea of the offset. I have a set of 17x8 Fittipauldis that would look sweet on a Fiero.
The rear wheel drive bolt pattern on the Fiero tends to be a problem when dealing with OE wheels, aftermarket where you can order wheels with various offsets such as what centerline offers is a different story. You will certainly have a wide range of wheel choices. The reason I'm opposed to it is custom parts specific for your vehicle present a problem when replacement is required in an emergency, damage a custom offset wheel or hub and you're sitting on how long and how much and is it worth it.
