4th Gen Wheels Questions

Looking at some new wheels for the 92 maro. Found these locally for cheap:



The question is: will these fit right up without any fitment or rubbing issues? The car came with the 16" Z28 wheels if it matters.

I would be taking it to a shop to get them swapped of course.

EDIT They are from a 2002 Firebird if it matters.

You need to know the same information as me. No one seems to want to respond though.

You will need spacers in the front and back, but I need to know the correct size spacers as well, and as far as I know, they are not cheap.

Well I thought I did search well enough, but I found a thread saying you need 2" spacers for 17" 4th gen wheels.

Is this the same for 16" wheels?

What is the disadvantage to having to use spacers, if any?

You try searching through all of the BS threads for one particular thing, you could spend hours doing it. Usually to find nothing, and I usually do search before I post, but everytime I get no luck.

I have heard that you need a 2" spacer in the back, and a 2.25" spacer in the front. But one member had to use a 2.5" spacer in the front.

well i know everytime i have posted it takes a couple hours to get an answer from somebody so either way it takes alittle bit and i know i did a search and i found all the info i wanted to know in less than an hour and i dont know what your problem is! as for the front 2.5" spacer i dont think so anytime i have talked to anyone 2" has always came up and sometimes it has been 2.25 if you want them to stick out alittle.
