You shouldn't need spacers to run a stock wheel/tire combo. Just make sure you have the "Fronts" on the front, and the "Rears" on the rear. They have different offsets for front and back. Fronts are around 4" backspacing, rears are a hair over 5".

Your Firebird should have the same fitment specs as the Trans Am GTA that those wheels came OEM on, so you shouldn't need any spacers at all.
