Welcome to my newly redesigned Fiero 2M4 resource site.  The original site recorded over 12000 visits,  hopefully this one will also prove as useful.

Factory Wheels to upgrade your Fiero
 
The price of a decent set of aftermarket wheels can be something of a shock to those of us who can hardly afford a new set of tires.  There is an alternative however,  Scrapyard wheels!!!   This is not a complete list of what fits, however over time I hope to present as many examples as possible of wheel sources (and particularly handsome wheels),  with pictures whenever I can manage to get them.

IMPORTANT:  The Fiero bolt pattern is 5X100mm

 

GM Wheels
I will be supplying pictures of some of the more interesting wheels as time passes, for now here is a brief list of what will fit: (This is not a complete list)
(NOTE: some may be a tight fit against the strut bolts at the rear, test fit if possible)
 
All J-car -  Cavalier,  Sunbird,  Sunfire,  Firenza,  Skyhawk,  Cimmaron 
N-body (pre-1999) -  Grand Am,  Skylark,  Achieva,  Cutlass Calais 
Light Duty A-body -  Celebrity,  Pontiac 6000,  Cutlass Ciera,  Century (Most of these models had the heavy duty 5X115mm bolt pattern so be careful)
All X-body (1980-1985) -  Citation,  Phoenix,  Skylark,  Omega (Some are even 14X6.5")
Others - Chevy Corsica (and Pontiac Tempest, a Canadian badge engineered Corsica) and Beretta
 
The major difference between the FWD Sunbird/Grand Am/Tempest(Cdn) wheels and the Fiero High-Tech 14"X6"  wheels is the offset.  While the Fiero uses a 35mm offset, the FWDs used a 47mm offset.  This gives the Fiero wheels a distinctive 12mm "lip" on the rim. (See below)

Here is a nice 16"  factory wheel on a first series Grand Am.  These are found on many of the GT models from around 1990 until the end of this series.
