they don't fit "correctly"
they are a different bolt pattern


and any wheel/tire shop that cares about there customers won't put them on for you




that being said,
many people have done F-Body wheels (and most had little/no issues)


go to the gto site for gto pix,

No hubrings, but I used a 5mm spacer. They fit almost perfectly. But the use of spacers does require a stronger and longer wheel stud. (found out tha hard way) I use these as drag wheels with M/T drag radials.

Just out of curiosity, what did you find out the hard way? Did you have studs break on you?

The actually started to bend over from the tourqe load during luanch at the drag strip. All the tourqe load was on just the studs, and not on thecenter of the hub anymore. Not saying that needs to be. But adding a spacer which allose the wheel to slip on the spacer, and the spacer to slip on the rotor, and then the rotor a little slip on the hub. Well, it adds up to 3-4 planes that can slip under tourqe load. Putting in both longer wheel studs, and better lugs will take that all out. No problems now with the same spacers and wheels.

they actually did a write up in Pontiac Performance Magazine.. the ended up machining the lugnut holes to match the shoulder of the stock lugnuts.. and it worked great.
