I posted a "want ad" for 15x8 firebird rims and got a few responses. One of the members here told me that the style of rims I was looking for only came in 15x7 but i can almost swear that rims ones i had on my '84 Firebird S/E, that I bought all orginal with 65,000 miles, had 15x8. I sold them 2 years ago so i cant remember for sure. So now i was looking to but the same set but 15x8 and i was told that they only came 15x7. Is this true? heres a link of the ones i bought, there 15x7 but the style i was looking for.

Yep, those are only in 15x7.
If you want 15x8 you have to go to the old style Rally wheels.

I can't think of any thirdgen wheel that was produced in a 15x8 size.. I can tell you that early t/a "turbofin" wheels were 15x7.5, and I'm pretty sure that the limited run daytona 500 aero wheels were 7.5 inches wide as well, but that's the closest you're gonna get..
