Not miine:
<snip>... selling a set of 4 wheels and tires that came off of a 2006 Subaru Impreza. The wheels are in decent shape but do have some cosmetic defects, pry marks around center caps, scrapes, a little curbing, etc. Wheels are 5x100 lug pattern and are 16x6.5 in size. The tire are about ready to be replaced but do still work well, even in the rain. Tread is right at the wear bars. Tire size is 205/55R16. The center caps are included but have lost their paint as they tend to do. Price is $250 OBO.
These should fit most Subarus, some Toyotas, some Volkswagens and possibly others. Please check fitment before contacting.

According to the ad, the lug pattern is the same as the Fiero. There are two other areas that may prohibit mounting on a Fiero.
1. The offset looks to be too shallow. It may cause the inside of the tire to contact suspension parts or the rim to contact calipers.
2. The center bore may be too small and would need to be bored out to fit the Fiero hub flange. If it's larger, that can be solved by the use of wheel centering rings.

The Subie wheels use a 56.1 centerbore. It will have to be enlarged by 1 mm.
The offset on most Impreza wheels is ~45-48 mm. Perfect for the front of an 88. Will probably tuck under a bit much in the rear. But I believe they will bolt on with no issues. Subaru BRZ wheels are similar, and have been successfully used on Fieros (once the centerbore issue was resolved.)

The Race Car has subie wheels on it. I would elated for a 100.00 dollar offer. I think their Ugly.

I like the design, but you may want to hold out for 17’s. The tires are much easier to get at a decent price. I don’t know how 17’s fit on an 88, but they fit perfectly on my 85. I got pre 2005 GTI wheels and if you stick with vw, the center bore is perfect size.

On the Impreza, the wheel offset is noted as "High". Subaru lists High as being between 30 and 55 mm, meaning that the hub contact surface is set more to the street side of the centerline of the wheel. Commonly known as Front Wheel Drive wheels, even though the vehicle may be a Rear Wheel Drive vehicle. That would be similar to the front wheels of the 88 Formula and GT or the Tech wheels of the Grand Am that appear similar to the Fiero 14 inch aluminum wheels.
The 14, 15, 16 and 17 inch wheels are 55mm offset and the 18 inch wheels are 48 mm offset for the 2996u model year.

2996? You mean 2006? I played a game of monopoly, but it didn't take that long.
