Generally the Birds house wider wheels a little easier but they're very similar.

Jegs brand 15" wheels, less than $400 for all 4. 15x8 in the rear (those are 5.5 bs but they stick out too far, I would recommend 6.5bs) 15x4 up front. Same with the camaro but it has weld draglites, and has 6.5 bs in the rear

the firebird required no spacers, but LT1 car brakes are different than LS1 car brakes. My camaro runs a spacer up front, ground the calipers in the rear

Ah ok. I found a really good deal on c6 spyder rims (1000 for all 4 rims with used tires on them) so I'm probably going to pick them up this weekend.

So I test fit the new rims on the back and I must say I'm very happy. Now I'm going to have them powder coated black.
