need advice on winter rims I've tried searching but didn't find any useful info. i got some 225/60/16 snow tires from work for free. Now i just need some 16" rims to put them on. I found these at jegs which is the cheapest i've found:
Soft 8 397 Series Wheel
Finish: Black
Size: 16'' x 7''
Bolt Circle: 5'' x 4-3/4''
Rear Spacing: 4''
the only thing i'm not sure on is the backspacing. I don't care if it sticks out or is in too far, as long as the tires don't rub on the body. can anybody shed some light on this situation? also if you have stock 16" fbody rims that you want to get rid of let me know.

What brand of wheels are those? Your description sounds like they're the steel Cragar wheels, and if so they might not work, as the offset isn't correct. The 4th gen F-bods use what is basically a FWD rim, and the speed shops like Jegs or Summit don't sell them.
Try an online tire place like TireRack, they'll have them, but you might have to drill down a bit through their wheel menu.
