A friend of Mine has lots of thirdgen wheels (he lives in CANADA)
and we had this conversation :
he has a 88 Formula (rear drum)
and a 89 Formula 350 (Rear Disc)
Formulas with drum brakes came out of factory all with Front and rear Only use wheels ??
Or its only for Rear disc equipped ???
What about he put on 4 Real wheels ??
the thing he told me that with 4 rear wheels (he was ridin a set of 4 IROC REAR USE ONLY wheels on his Formula) the car looks more agressive cause it gives the impression of wider rims
Rear Drum brake cars came with all wheels the same or
they came with the same thing that disc brake cars (rear and front use )
Thanks

 

Drum cars had rear/front rims. I know one way you can run all 4 of one kind, I believe it's the rears. As long as you don't hear rubbing should be fine.

 

that was a hell of a jumbled post, but here's some info on that:

any 15" and 14" rims stock on a thirdgen were the same front and back. I do not believe that you could get rear disks on any car with 15" or 14" wheels, but I am not absolutely certain of that.

all 16" wheels were specified front and back, whether it was rear drum or disks

Howeverm any drum brake car with 16" wheels had a small 1/8" or so wide spacer on the back wheels to prevent rubbing.

The car will look good and give the impression of wider tires if you put 4 front wheels on the car, not rears.

4 rear wheels will look sunken in, and smaller on the car, because they have a higher backspacing. rear wheels on the front of the car maybe cause rubbing of the rim, especially without the 1/8" spacer.

 

Thanks so Much กก
You cleared all my doubts about it ...sorry if im not too clear on posting ..English is my second language
Thanks กก
hey ...any pics of 4 fronts ????
Yeah that was ...กก ---16" only came with that specs --r/f
a set of firebird 15"s will not fit a rear disc car ?
I think not ? anyway it doesnt matter
Thanks

 

I'm running 4.5" backspacing front and rear with a 16 x 8" rim front and back.

A thirdgen's stock 16" front wheels are 4.35" backspacing with a 16 x 8" rim, so mine are a very similar effect.

You can see they fill up the rear wheelwell better:
