Our rims have a 5x4.5" bolt pattern, the Firebirds are 5x4.75".

So no, they will not fit.

When did they change? I thought rwd GM cars were always 5x4.5 (cept for the big cars which were 5x5). Hmmm, learn something new everyday.

Later,
Bill

It took you over an hour to bump your own thread. It would have taken less than 10mins to get the jack out, get your tools, remove the lug nuts, remove the wheel and tried the pontiac wheel on your car.

small small GM(cavilers, sunbirds) are 4.5, small GM (S10, Camaro, monte carlo) are 4.75, and BIG GM (trucks, big body cars like olds 98) 5.25

small ford (mustangs small cars) are 4.5, and big ford (trucks and what not) are 5...

Rx7's are 4.5 although late modle(late 90's) FWD Monte's are 4.5

Maybe have the wheels drilled out and inserts pressed in to get them to 114.3??
Show pics of the wheels.
If you know how to measure bolt pattern, u don't need to install it.

I wouldn't advise drilling out wheels like that, it's just asking for trouble.

Well since you have a 91 NA coupe, the stock wheels are 15x6. Those are 16" tires. That is the stock TII and GTUs tire size and will fit on those wheels, which are 16x7.

So unless you've got other than stock wheels, then no those tires won't fit.
