What are my options What are my options if any of wheel sizes I can put on my Base 3.4 Bird without any adapters or spacers besides the 16x7.5 that it came factory with? Will anything else like 8, 8.25 or 9 require spacers? Thanks
You can put any rim that will fit a WS6/Base TA or SS/Z28. If you are getting a wider rim then you dont need spacers unless you want to extend the rim further. S10 rims do not have to be 16in to fit, or any other rim for that matter. What is important is that they have the same lug pattern measurements. Refer to the sticky, that should give you all the info you need

I didn't realize how hard it is to find anything factory for this car like the wheels are. I don't think I want to go any bigger than what is suposed to be on this from the date it was made. Would rather have factory but if I can't find any 16x7.5, will the 16x8 from 93 to 95 firebird/camaro base will fit good right ? I've read & read in the tire section, but it appears everyone are going to 17's & 18's while I'm wanting to stay with 16's & get as close as possible to what it originally had.
My RPO Code:
QA7 WHEEL 16 X 7.5, ALUMINUM ALUM WHL (QA7)

Sounds like you have an early base model car. The only difference that you might have over any other F-body from the era would be that you might have drum brakes in the rear. So any wheel off of a 1993-2002 F-body will fit no problem. I am almost positive that 4x4 s-10 wheels will fit on the rear, but the wheels might not fit on the front without a spacer which will make the wheel stick out way past the fender.
If your looking for new wheels and your on a budget then I recommend OEwheels. They have about the best deals out there for affordable wheels that fit our cars that don't look like poo. I would go with 17x9 with 275/40/17s. That size is a good compromise of looks, performance and affordability.
If your looking for used wheels then keep an eye out for corvette wheels from 88 to 04, I believe the newer wheels need spacers. Some BMW wheels fit too, but that depends a lot on the particular wheels offset.
