Hi everyone,

I managed to pick up a set of original 16x8 staggered IROC-Z wheels the other day, and I'm curious if they'd fit my '69 Firebird.

Here's the info:
Size : 16" x 8"
Backspacing Front : 4.75"
Backspacing Rear : 5.25"
Bolt pattern : 4.75"

Tires are 245/50/16

Help!

Thanks,

Put them on the car and tell us how they fit!!

I'm going to bet they will rub, at least on the front.

haha well I'm actually asking because I'd like to sell them. I'm hoping someone knows the fitment specs on these cars so I don't have to remove the front and rear wheels to confirm if they fit or not... My Firebird is currently tucked away in the garage for at least a few more weeks (it's still snowing here in Calgary)

are there any references anywhere to check this?

Thanks!
Migs

I know some of the second generation use them on 70-81 cars but they swap the rims around the rears go on the front and the fronts go on the rears.

Last week I tried putting mine (I have an '85 IROC) on the Firebird just to see if they would fit. I had heard that the fronts would go on the rear and rears on the front. That did not work, rubbed at the rear. I think it would only work with two sets of rears. Even then the fronts rubbed a little with rear set mounted there. Looked great though. I would post some pics if it wasn't such a pita.

There is a guy in town here that drives a georgeous 57 Chevy (tuquise & white) and he has Iroc rims on it. Needless to say nobody can quite understand who would do something that looks so horrendous. To each his own...

If you had a 2nd Gen, you'd want four with the rear (5.25) spacing. If you're a 1st Gen, you'd want four with the front spacing (4.75) - but I forget if that is with drum or disc brakes.

Maybe you can trade 2 for 2 with a 2nd Gen owner. :-)
