Will V6 Firebird wheels work on on a 95 V8 TA?

http://www.evolveentertainment.ca/al..._005.sized.jpg

There is the PIC, I know they are diferent from the 93-94 swirl mags, would they work and do you guys think they are lighter?

Just want to know everything I should know about the V6 firebird wheels before I buy them for daily use.

Thanx guys.

I need to find as well,I just bought a 95 Firebird 3.4L.I have LS1 brakes so it may be tight.
I want to take the WS6 rims off for the winter,I have snow tires on the original swirls for the 95.

I will pick up the car tommorow night and try the wheel swap on Thursday.

I will let you know,but it should work as front skinnie 15's fit over the brakes no problem.

The hubs have the same part number so they should work just fine.... "LS1" style V6s also had the same brakes as the LS1 cars, so they all are interchangeable....

I thought all 98 and up V6 cars got 16 wheels?

The wheels Bunker and I are looking at are the 15" ones.

I don't know of any 4th gen with 15" wheels... V6 or not...
93-97 all had 16" wheels AFAIK.

Yeah I'm dead sure they are all 16", but is the 16" firebird V6 wheels narrower then the 16" V8 firebird one in 93-94?

The wheel itself is the same... the tire is narrower and taller. 235/55/16 IIRC.

Looked it up on Google and eBay, aparently the 93-94 5 hole V6 mags are only 16X7.5 unlike the swirl V8 ones which were 16X8 and the 5 star 16" which were also 16X8.

I just picked my V6 up from the seller and they are 16's.

I always thought they were 15's. DOH!

Well tommorow I paint them black and put them on the TA.

And the TA swirls can go on the V6,with the Chrome WS6 rims going into storage.
