At the top of there page is a vehicle input to see if they fit. If for the 95 firebird it says they will not.

Here's the sticky at the top of the forum.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...must-read.html

You would need the 5x120 bolt pattern to work. Ours are 5x4.5 or 5x120.65 mm. Some people say you can interchange 5x120 and 5x120.65 while others strongly oppose it. I'll let you make your own decision. The wheels you posted only offer a +25 offset for a 5x120 bolt pattern. That will push the wheel too far out and it will stick out past the fenders.

42 mm would be fine . . anything between 35 mm to 50 mm in a 9" width will fit.

That 17x9 +42 offset in those wheels have the wrong bolt patterns for our cars.

I'll say this...It is a sharp looking wheel, but I was never big on dual bolt pattern wheels. Not a lot of "beef" around the lug circle, assuming, of course, that it would fit a 4th gen....
