They kick ***, AND say Pontiac on them. What's the bolt pattern on 3rd gens again?

 

them are sweet how much are those and who makes them? and what sizes?

 

15x7 and 15x8... wheel vintiques or some silly name like that. And I think it's 99-119 bucks a wheel.

now back to my original Question:
What's the Bolt pattern on 3rd gens? is it 5.75?

 

isn't it 4.75?

 

what are the corvettes then? 5"?

 

IMO those wheels look too old school

 

All GM rear wheel drives are 4-3/4" EXCEPT the Impalas and Caprices. They're 5" like the trucks.

Those are cool wheels, but as brodyscamaro said, they're too old school. You'd have to have just the right combo of things done to a third gen to make them look right, IMHO.

 

ya, i do too... could a 3rd gen get a way with it?

 

I plan on lifting the back, Painting the car black, getting these rims, and Getting Goodyear Eagle ST Raised white letter tires.

They will look great.

Now, since the 3rd gen Bolt pattern is 4.75 inches, WHAT ARE THE CORVETTE BOLT PATTERNS? I think they are 5 inches, and if so, I can use the Corvette adaptors with these Rims.

Now, can you guys help me out with this?

 

The Corvette Is the Same Pattern... 5x4 3/4...Only other pattern is Truck/Caddy/Big Car which is different... Camaro Nova Chevelle S-10 Corvette are all the same

 

The rims are Rally II's. A guy I know with a 73 bird has them on it.

 

Those wheels wont look good on a 3rdgen IMO.

 

i had 6 of those rims about 5 years ago,,,,,they came stock on my 81 firebird. I seen a 3rd gen around here with them,,,they look alrigt...but there painted all black with the chrome trim rings on there. You should beable to find those in a junk yard just finding the rins and centercaps can be hard. heres a pic of my old firebird.....(mine are painted all black too as you can see)

 

I had a set simular to those on my car. Minus the Chrome though, and well I wish I had something else. Those rims are GTO or pre 79 T/A, but I don't find them too appealing on the Thirdgen.

 

How much do they cost? THe wheels on our 75 GA are showing some rust, and those look like good replacements.

 

Here they are, scroll to the bottom:

I think they look great, and I'm going to buy them.

Since they are 4.75 Bolt pattern, I won't need an adapter. It even sweetens the deal.

 

The bolt pattern may be the same but what about the backspacing. Just like my ZR1/SS wheels, they have the same bolt pattern, but they have a larger backspacing, so you need adaptors to make up for the larger backspacing (or a 4th gen rear end, like me).

 

I asked a question about this earlier. My 1987 firebird came with those wheels when I bought it, Its not the onlt one I have seen with them, just a few others. I didnt know if this was an option or not. Anyway they looked fine on my bird, sorry I dont have a pic of it, right now they are on my 84 monte carlo. I'm going to be using them on my 98 for my slicks.

 

oh and just like you are saying, they had white letter tires when I it as well, and its red. The rear end was raised, how much i have no clue. I bought the car in 97, and its been sitting since 98.

 

Like 87 Bird said, some third gen firebirds came with Rally II's. My '86 has them. They must have been an option. The color scheme on them is a little different though. They have really dark gray or black on the 'spokes' and the rest of the wheel is silver. Sorry that I don't have any pics either.
