Those wheels were just made for the Grand Am's
They have a 5 on 100mm bolt pattern. The only way to get them to work is with adapters. They weren't made in our bolt pattern.
And, they are only like 6" wide, which is a bit narrow.
If you do get adapters, I would recommend a P225/55R16.
The 205/55's that are on those wheels are a 'wee bit to small on an F-body, and trying to fit wider than a 225 width tire on a 6" wheel isn't recommended.

LOL......That's great........It's going in my signature.......

I have the SAME bolt pattern..........5x100mm

The adapters cost me $450 which to me wouldn't be worth it for some Grand Am rims........maybe some neepers
