Wheel size help! Hey guys, I'm a noob from Miami. I hope somebody can help me with a question about rims. My '02 Trans Am vert came with 16' x 8' wheels from the factory. I bought AFS 17' x 9.5' wheels (all around). AFS claims that they are a direct replacement for my year Firebird. Are they safe to install w/o any modification? Thanks in advance!

They're on and they look great! Now I just have to figure what to do w/ the Chevy Motorsport badges they come w/. If I may annoy some more, I had initially thought, "I'll just remove these and put on the lack ABS caps from my old 16"'s!"
I found out shortly after that they do not fit. They're of different sizes. Great!
Of course, they have a bunch for sale online. None specify their sizes. Is there any way to know which fit what wheels? I'd hate to buy beautiful Fiery Chicken center caps only to find out they only fit my old OEM chrome 16's instead! I've been trying to call many of them. Most do not even have phone #'s. What would you guys do, or obviously, have done with your wheels?
Xsta Z28: Thanks for the warm welcome! It's a nice feeling to know there are such friendly LS1 owners out there. I don't know many in person in Miami, but I sincerely appreciate your help!
