I know this has been posted in the "junkyards" thread but i'm not trusting it. Will the 16 inch honeycomb / lace wheels from the gramnd prix and firebirds fit a fiero OK ? Specifically, are the offset and bolt patterns the same or compatible enough not to wear out the wheel bearings ? Thank you.

W-bodies (Grand Prix, Lumina, etc) use the 5x115 mm pattern, but F-bodies (Camaro/Firebird) use 5 x 4.75". The wheels are also very different offset between the two chassis.

You can swap the hub carriers from an A-body with the 5x115 pattern over to the REAR of your 84-87 Fiero and use the Grand Prix 16 x 8 mesh wheels just fine, but changing the front is harder.

Some like these?

(squint really hard )

I have some on my car, so there are some that come in 5x100. I dont know about the offsets though as the previous owner put them on. They dont stick out or are recessed in, though.

I'm having a tad bit of difficulty remembering the offset for the pre-88s. Its 35mm for front and back, right?

The only 16" mesh wheels that I know of that fit the Fiero are the 16x6's used on 89-92 Chrysler LeBarons. They're getting pretty rare these days.
