salad shooters (93-96 Camaro), 5 stars (97-99 Camaro) and snowflakes (00-02 Camaros) are all the same size, i immagine all Firebird 16 inch wheels are the same also

you could always get them widened professionally, or order some bogarts or cragers if you're feeling like splurging. Seriously a 16x11 would be pretty badass for slicks.

so you would run the 5 stars 16 in rim and put the 16x11 slicks on there? they would fit on the rim and on the car ok?

I used the stock 02 16 inch wheels for awhile, then used centerline wheels, cheap and alot lighter. Also on ebay there are sellers with 16x8 ZR1 replicas.
