Default GTO Wheels on a Formula

Ok, Heres the link, would these to your best estimate fit a Firebird? I can't find the offsets.

They are the wheels on the Red GTO pictured. Its the FZ10 package.

maybe I am wrong, but I thought the GTO had a metric bolt pattern. Not the 5 x 4 3/4 like the f bodies.

5x120mm is the same as the bolt pattern on f bodies.

They are 5x120.65...................the BMW wheels(that supposedly fit F-bodys ) are the ones in 5x120.

Oh yea those wheels are 18x8 according to that web site.

Yeah, that is the only thing I'm not liking....8" wide for the rear? A little narrow.

Nice comparison. Has anyone seen the spare for the GTO? It is a black cast five spoke. I think they are 17X5. They would make cool skinies for drag racing if you had black five spoke rears like Gran Sport wheels.

Was it the Boyds that were having the problem of warping or caving in ===somthing along those lines? It is a good comparison in style, what about price?

how does $1600 a set sound for 18x8 & 18x9.5s. And no...there was no warping going on.
