I know the 2nd gen camaro wheels will...not positive on the 2nd gen birds if the bolt pattern is the same.
A question: why would you want to? The 'snowflake' wheels on a 2nd gen firebird is a horrible design, IMO.

When my brother wanted to get 16" wheels for his car(84T/A)I let him use one of my wheels as a test fit to see how they would look. I don't know why but we couldn't get the wheel on,studs were just a smidge too wide apart I suppose.

If you tried to put one of your rear wheels on the front of his car, that's why it wouldn't work. The offsets are different. Same reason you can't rotate the 16x8's front to rear.......unless you have 4 front wheels like I will day-after-tomorrow.
