Re: wheels what size? help

if they are 16's then they are 16X8. dont think they ever made a 16X7, but maybe.
as for the rims you linked too - well too close to a pimp my ride tv show, but others may like them.

Those wheels will not fit because if you look at the picture of the bok with the info on it it says they are a 5x4.5 bolt patern and our cars are5x4.75 bolt pattern and the guy also said he had them for a mustang .

The GTA crosslace wheels were ALL 16" x 8". There some 15" x 7" crosslace-style wheels made & put on other Firebirds.

As for THAT wheel you linked to...It says nothing about the backspacing or what lug pattern it is. Just "5 lug". Not all 5 lug patterns are the same. So they may or may not fit your car.

I didn't read the picture, sorry.

But no...Those won't fit a Camaro/Firebird.
