16x8 Inch Wheels On My V6 Bird

I am (hopefully) picking up some formula rims tonight for my v6 bird. am i correct in saying that all i have to do is have them balanced and mount them. Nothing on my car has to change right? Will it sit too high or anything? I think this will give my car a more agressive stance(compared to my 15 inch wheels) Any thoughts?

thanks:lala:

Your car may sit a little higher....I got a set of Formula rims on my 84 firebird too. Make sure you check the inside of the rim because they are front/back specific.

There should be a stamped word that says "Front Only" and "Rear Only" You don't want to screw up your new wheels or your car if the backs are on the fronts.
