Would like to know the rim width for a 89 Firebird, V6, 2.8L. The rims are original and the diameter is 15 in. Thanks,

Re: Rim width
The 15"s would be 6" wide. The 16"s were the 8" wide ones.

Re: Rim width
It should say what size on the backside of the rim. I think about all rims do.

You may be correct. I've never owned a 15" 3rd gen.

The first IROCs were 15x7 & I thought (may be wrong) the "lower models" got 6" wide.

Re: Rim width
It's 15x7, no thirdgen had anything skinnier than that.

Actually, the 82 3rd gens 14" wheels were 6"....So, 3rd gens have come with 6" wheels.

Guess I should have added 15" wheels not having 6" width.
