www.vettebrakes.com makes spacers that will bolt to your axle and have a ford bolt pattern to run those wheels, Basically will change you from 5 on 4.75 to 5 on 4.5, check it out.

they do look good on that firebird... can you help me out one which spacers i would need to buy... im looking at it but i cant figure it out... the back rims are 18 and the front are 17... but i dont think that has anything to do with the spacers does it? the spacers are just like things put on ur brakes to hold the wheel right? and all i am looking for is the pattern? but i thought those rims were already the pattern i need? so what do the spacers do?

The spacers make your rearend wider as well as your front end. They basically make up for the backspacing your new wheels will have. I'll double check what size his spacers are. Talk directly to Andris Skulte www.skulte.com I bought my spacers from him (I have ZR1's on my car) and he helped me out very much. I'll take a look also and get back to you. Just e-mail me at Bad406Z@aol.com - Steve
