Hi I am a huge fan of Chip Foose... I love his styling and that he always uses the larger rims. I wanted to know if I could get 20 inch rims to fit on my Firebird. 84 Bird by the way. Could someone please give me some info on this, or point me in the right direction? Thanks Guys!

I'm not a fan of Chip Fooses work honestly. His work on Overhaulin is a bit better because it's what the car owner is supposed to want. I think that keeps him from going too crazy. I think he also goes too large on the wheels and tires. Enough with my opinions.

20's would be difficult to pull off on a third generation car. I don't think the wheel wells are large enough to handle them. With that said I've seen some fairly large wheel and tire combinations fit on these cars, but not nearly as large as what I've seen on newer vehicles. Most cars from the time period can't take them with out a lift kit or some serious changes to the wheel well area. That's why you see all those Buick's and Caprices from the 80's rolling on 20"+ wheels in the ghetto sitting more than 12" off the ground.

Yeah definately don't want the pimp daddy look that looks like utter crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any suggestions as far as a little bit smaller then 19's? 18's?

thanks!!!

I know 18's will work. Not sure about 19's.

im putting corvette c6 rims on my car .. 18x8.5 fron and 19x10 rear... check the corvette rim thread for pics

Sure 20s will fit:

Here are 20's from a member of the forum.

Personally I like the looks of 17's, but props for the clean job he did with the 20's.

haha lol yea i totally agree with you on that. what part of tx you live in cause thats all i see are "donks" those cars are stupid... rims cost more than car lol

Still too much wheel for me, but it looked better than I thought it would. 17 or 18" wheels are about as large as I'd go on these cars.

DFW.

Those 20's look sick on that gta! I probably would do something like that if I could just buy em, throw em on the car and it had that stance. Don't really want to lower my car as it already seems like it's on the ground so I went with a 17x9.5

Hey thanks everyone really appreciate all the help... Say what year Firebird is that in Twin Turbo's picture? Is that a 92?

thanks

Zyd

92 gta

thank you

Yeah I looked through that thread. Some of the rim choices look good, others, not so much.

hi do you know the back spacing on these wheels thank you

Please respond quickly if you can, I might buy these 20 inch wheels from a Cadillac. They are 600 bucks with 5 tires...... Boss Rims. He says they're 5x120mm so they should not have a problem with the lug pattern....... BUT.....

The thing is I won't be driving my Camaro to test fit them. I have an S 10 pickup. I hope the calipers will clear on the Camaro....... sure I will need backspacers...... but DO YOU KNOW WHETHER OR NOT IF THEY FIT THE FRONT OF MY 1994 S10, DOES THAT MEAN THEY WILL FIT THE IROC?

so I tested the fit on my S10, they fit.

Then, I found a 6 inch crack on one of the rims. They thought I wouldn't notice? Tried to scam me out of 6 hundred dollars. I stayed calm, that kid is going to run into the wrong person. I drove 89 miles one way to go buy them. Craigslist scammer.

didnt someone have 22s slammed on a z28?
