16" rims

I was wondering if you can use 16" Firebird rims on an IROC. I jumped a curb and no one around here has a front rim for an '87 IROC. Is there a difference in the Firebird's rims? What about the later IROC rims? And also fourth-gen rims? I just need something that will allow me to drive around until I can get another rim that matches. Thanks.

As long as the firebird wheel is the same (front or rear) then yes you can use them. Front and rear 16" wheels for our cars have different offsets and can't be interchanged directly.

4th gen wheels require wheel adapters/spacers in order to be used on a 3rd gen.
