Is there any difference between v6 and v8 wheels?

Specifically, I'm trying to find a set of wheels for a buddy, and I found some cheap decent wheels off of a V6 firebird. Are they the same width as the formula/trans am wheels?

The style looks the same, but I just don't want to get him some wheels that are too narrow.

 

Pretty sure all 16" aluminum 4th gen wheels are 8" wide.

 

Yep. I custom ordered a 96 3.8 V6. The aluminum wheels were 16x8.

The 1993 to "late" 1996 4th Gen F-Bodies have a larger hub on the rear axle than on the front spindles. The rear axle hubs are about 0.03" larger in diameter than the front hubs. This problem was corrected in late 1996 model year or possibly in early 1997.

The solution is very simple. First, DO NOT FORCE THEM ON WITH THE LUGS! Very dangerous, and you may not be able to get them off. You need to lightly sand or grind (e.g. - Dremel) the inside diameter of the hub hole in the back of the wheel. Don't go nuts.... just remove enough metal so the wheel cleanly fits over the rear hubs, with no interference.

Think about doing this to all 4 wheels, so you can "rotate" the tires in the future.

This will not harm the wheels.... you are taking off the thickness of a sheet of paper. Just be sure you do a neat, smooth job. This will also NOT affect the centering of the wheels on the hubs. The 4th Gen wheels are "lug-centric" - they are centered by the conical lugs, not by the hubs.

 

Thanks guys.
