has anyone put these wheels on a third gen? are they a direct bolt on? id love to see pics. ive been looking to change my gta wheels and wanted something similar.

 

no our rims are 16x8 those are 17x9 (i would get the bigger ones smaller would look weird but you wont be able to turn the wheel clock to clock all the way it will burn a hole in the plastic wheel liner so you will need to be cautious) but if you crunch the numbers and try to make up for the larger rim by reducing the side wall height so they are the same height from the ground it should work fine and they look like standard gm 5 bolt layout so that should not be a problem

 

 

here are some factory snow flakes on a third gen.

how about these ones? think they will fit?

 

These look great on the Pontiacs... I'd be interested in seeing them on a Camaro, though.

 

well i am thinking of putting them on my 87 camaro irocz contvible

 

Does anyone have a picture of the new billet snowflakes on a thirdgen?

 

here they are on a 4th gen, i have to say, i like the snowflakes better.

 

Hey, kinda old thread, but what is the widest tire anyone is having on their snowflake 17s?
Will 315 fit?

 

That black GTA is what mine will look like if I can ever get a set of these wheels. Love the car, love the look.

 

I think they only look good on the 82 to 84 TAs, the 85 and up just don't work with them. Now if you are talking any 2nd gen - they of course look awesome.

You definitely don't want to stick a 315 on a 9" wheel. Too narrow - need an 11" to fit.

 

These wheels look great!

 

How on Earth they do NOT offer an Iroc wheel wider than 8" is beyond me. ....staying on topic....yet ANOTHER fantastic looking repop of a factory original wheel, but in a modern size. I think this wheel looks great. -and it'd look great on a Camaro too. I'm still holding out for Iroc wheels though.

 

Easy to answer: 8" fits everything, 9.5" does not.

And even the 9" is a tad narrow for a 275 tire, again to fit more applications.

 

those look pretty good

 

...plenty of OTHER wheels are offered in 9 and 9.5. ....in fact of ALL the factory repop wheels going back to the first gen Rally wheels, these snowflakes and other 2nd gen era GM wheels, the N90 wheels, Hawk's GTA crosslace wheels, Ronal Firehawk's, and various Corvette repops I can't think of a wheel OTHER than the Iroc that's only available in 8".

 

I have a 1982 trans am. Currently getting painted black. I love your car, looks like an 83 with snowflakes. I am looking at an old post but can you tell me the exact wheel and tire combo?
