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. |

The radiator support and aprons(frame that fenders bolt to)are the same for camaros and firebirds, you can change the nose |
