Default V6 Firebird wheel dimensions?

Hey guys I know this is probably gonna sound stupid but I’m looking for a skinnier wheel set up on my 02 WS6 M6 I’m running some replica C7 ZO6 wheels right now and I’d like to find a set of junk wheels that are a little skinner than the factory 9.5 or whatever factory size is so when I want to act like a fool in my car I can swap wheels and take some strain off the drivetrain and if anyone knows of a tire that doesn’t hook for sh*t drop the names lol it’s not every day you find someone looking for a junk wheel/tire set up but spinning around backwards is what I like to do lol plus just got the 4:56 gears and tru trac set up does anyone know if the v6 cars had a width difference from the v8 cars as far as wheels go ? Thanks for any help

The V6 aluminum wheels were the same as the base V8 wheels; 16x8". Your WS6 would have come with 17x9" wheels, same as Firehawk and SS.

4th gens that came with steel wheels and plastic wheel covers used a 16x7" size (or perhaps a 16x7.5" in later years) but, if I remember correctly, the earlier steel wheels would require a spacer for the later LS1 brakes.
