Front 17" and Rear 19" Wheels
« on: October 25, 2018, 10:19:44 pm »

Anyone out there put 19" rear wheels on a stock '88 Fiero GT?
How about 17" up front?
Any comments?

Here's the ad:

Excellent condition wheels with no curb rash or bends at all. Like new tires with less than 1k miles, still got the rubber nibs on them. Will include chrome spline lugs and key. I'm PayPal verified and will ship the cheapest way possible if needed. Asking $600.... Here are the details:

2 bolt pattern options -
5x100 & 5x114.3mm / 5x4.5"

Front:
17" x 7" with 42mm offset
215/45/17 Goodyear Eagle GT

Rear:
19" x 8.5" with 45mm offset
245/40/19 Goodyear Eagle GT
Red '88 GT 5-Speed, 7730ECM, 1.6 Rockers, and KEYLESS Entry! 
Now with a trailer hitch for my bike rack.

Just buy a DeLorean.
You can't fix stupid but, you can adjust it with a 2x4.

I have 17's on the 86 with a 35mm offset but I'm running 40 and 45 series tires.  I also have a set of 17's that were on an 86 GT and on the Lil Duke Coupe.  I don't know what the offset is nor what size tires I have on them, but there were no issues.  Looks like the guy was already running them on a Fiero.  I'd ask him why he is removing them so quickly.  I'm guessing he has some kind of clearance issues.
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Did you get them? The ad says "sold".

The fronts are just about ideal for an 88.
The rears? I don't know. I would check carefully for interference on the inside edge. At the strut and at the trailing link.
