Default Wheel/Rim swap from 08 GTO to 02 Firebird

Just purchased an 02 Firebird. Previous owner had 18 inch wheels put on. They are a mess and it really takes away from the car. I found a set of 18 inch rims off of an 08 G8 and wanted to be sure that I could swap those G8 wheels for the ones presently on the car.


Rims on car: Avenue A612 size 18" by 7.5 wide with "high offset"


G8 rims: 18" by 8" wide with 48 inch offset.


I found some info that states that 02 Firebirds have 5 lug x 4.75 in (121 mm), high positive offset (45" -55") and widths ranging from 7.5 inches to 9 inches. I believe that the G8 wheels should be an easy swap...


Just want to be sure before I plunk down $400 only to find that they don't fit!


Thanks
