Rim Size Question

Wagners dry rotted tires finally gave out on his 86. I was wondering if I could swap my stock 90 firebird rims onto his car for now because we have to work. We have the spare on there for now. I believe my firebird rims are 15s and his Irocs are 16s

YES..you can..same lug pattern. You may need the factory spacer on the rear but you should have that as well..doubt it though.

You gotta change the whole front subframe to do the swap. The Camaro and Firebird have different swoops (better word cannot be found) on the front end.

Ive read thirdgen.org for years, underneath the fenders are different between both cars. And yes, the rear 1/4s are different.
