same size rims?

hey guys, are the gold crosslace (from a 91 TA) 16 inch rims the same exact size as the rest of the 16 inch rims on the thirdgen line up? Since I'm gonna get new tires soon and I wanted to keep my old ones for burnouts and stuff so I thought I'd try to find some cheap IROC rims or something. Thanks!

Yeah I know, I'm talking about finding the same size rims to mount my old tires from my stock 16" crosslace wheels. I was wondering if the same diameter tires have the same width as well.

Yes, same width as well as diameter. All 16" wheels were 8" wide as far as I know.

Re: same size rims?

Same widths, as mentioned above. Only measurement differences, on all stock 16" wheels, are the offset/backspacing. Front wheels will fit on the rear, but the rear wheels will not fit the front without using a spacer. Get 4 front wheels are your life is a whole life simpler when it comes time to do tires or take the wheel & tire, off & on.
