holy crap your bird is gorgeous! and to think was gonna get rid of my y2k's pshh not after seeing that!

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

wow that looks quite photochopped.....

Graphite Z06 wheels FTW!! wanna sell em? or adapters?

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

I just got them a few months ago, so no, I don't want to sell them.......yet. :)

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

ok.. but you gotta agree those would look awesome on a white car

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

Wow. I never thought I'd say I liked the polished wheels over the graphite ones. Are the graphite 17's? They look tiny. Beautiful car as always, Zepher.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

keep them coming

I also remember seeing a white Formula with C5 ZO6 rims...anyone know who I mean?

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

And no doubt that a photochop either. Wheel style doesn't look bad, but your car couldn't get close to looking like that without Air Ride & aftermarket 20"+ versions of those wheels.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

Stiff springs, weight jacks and the standard 18x9.5's would get you real close though.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

here is mine, i got the black z06 motorsports on there 18x9.5 and 17x8.5 Attachment 444644

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

Do you regret selling me those Z06s?!?! :D

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

:lmao: No because I like being able to fit my c6 zo6 brakes!

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

wow your car is dead sexy with those c6 wheels and brakes! are those 18's? those brakes must stop you on a dime

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

Thanks! It's coming along nicely. The fronts are 18s, the rears are 19s.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

hey white knight, are those wheels 9.5 wide?

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

i wish i saw this when i was looking for vette wheels, its very helpful, heres mine 17x9.5 zo6 w/ 2'' spacers

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

what Vett wheels fit on to an 87' firebird?

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

All Vette weels can fit. It is just a matter of what size adapters you will need, if the wheels are 16" wheels or larger.

If you :search: around before making your first post to ask a question that not only has been answered, a billion times, but there is even a Sticky at the very top of this Forum that talks about it.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

I want to see the new chrome Corvette ZR1 rims on a Firebird, I think it would look sweet.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

relax, i just joined this site today. im pretty new to the firebird game as well. i have an 87' trans am im restoring and i came across this site. theres a lot of useful info on here. im in the process of a paint job and interior work. id like to throw some vett wheels on it and i have no idea where to start. that is y i ask. where can i get these adapters/spacers and how much are they?

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

ebay

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

Yes. You have to search my friend. The same rule goes with any forum you join. The newer you are to the forum and to the hobby the more likely it is that your question is very common and has been answered multiple times. If everyone answered your question you would be more likely to ask again next time without searching. So before telling people to relax proper forum etiquette should be followed. We know your anxious to have all of your questions answered but take your time and have fun I think you will be surprised on how much faster you can get you hands on loads of information with a few clicks of a mouse. 30 seconds got me this. Here you go.

Also, introduce yourself before you ask such questions you wouldn't go walking up to a random group of people who have third gens asking them all about what corvette wheels fit. Or maybe you would. Just some constructive criticism.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

:help:Really nice ride, i will like to know how you made the wheels fit that bird. I have a set of black w/polished lip from a 1987 vette and want to put them on my 91 firebird but i think i will need some kind of adapter and i do not know much about that. They are 17x9.5 offset +38mm and hub 70.68mm, can you help me with this?, thanks.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

:eek: That looks awesome!

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

I am drooling! That looks awesome too.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

(iansane)That wheel looks outstanding on your car. I would love a set of those for my car. Might give it some new life.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

This is kinda close to what you are asking for...

this is a picture of my car about 10 years ago, on the day I moved from NY to VA. Goodbye 20 degrees and 6" of snow and hello 60* and sunny in December.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

What's the difference between these 2? The tops are 18's all around and the bottom is a 17/18 combo right?

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

My 85 with C6's that needs lowered.

Skinny Neb, do you have any more pictures of that red Trans Am? That thing is clean!

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

These are all I could find with Vette wheels. He had chrome Camaro wheels on for quite a while.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

A GTA with fender extractor vents and no badges?

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

cal30, I was wondering that myself. Regardless, I absolutely love the look of the black z06's! Such a shame it got hit...

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

You guys are right, my bad. Just remember hearing "GTA" from the person who bought it from my friend.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

Do you happen to know the size? They look like 17's, maybe?

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

17x9.5 with 275/40/17's (If I remember right).

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

Thanks!

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

No problem, if you decide on them, they'll space out just like any other vette wheel. 2" adapters all the way around.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

Holy crap, I hope the last pic isnt the end of that car story...

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

Sadly it is. But, it's the reason why my dash is no longer cracked.

Back on topic though, anybody else with Vette wheels?

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

You sir have one sexy bird!!!!!!:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

These are z06 deep dish replicas from OeWheels. Personally, I think they look better than the GM z06 wheels.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

Ive never liked TA's as much as Formulas b/c Im not a ground effects fan, but that was a sweet TA. Too bad. Anyway, yeah, I plan to get Vette wheels for my 92 Formula sometime this summer hopefully. I just bought it and had to dump about a grand into it to get it mechanically sound, and it will need a new headliner this spring if I want to take the tops out without looking like a chump. But God willing, I plan to go with this 18 X 9.5 C6 set I found on OEWheelsllc.com. I've never found a site with better prices, and the wheels are good quality. I'll need 2" spacers, but it should look great. I'll post pics if I can get it done. Let me know what you think if you feel like it. I think the black would look sweet with the red car.

Re: Firebirds with Corvette wheels
 

OEWheels is awesome. I ordered a 17 X 9.5 set for my 98 Camaro, and a staggered set of 20 X 8.5/10's for my 07 Mustang and have had nothing but good to say about them. They look great and the price has not been beat. Now that Ive seen yours on a car similar to mine, I may take a second look to see if those may not look better than the black ones I planned to get. Looks great. Those 17's or 18's?
