Only way you'll really tell unless someone already has them is to ask for a fitting chart mate.... they not got one on their web site ?

OK first thing - check the bolt pattern - it should be 5 x 114.3 mm looks like they're rounding them up and the 18" offset for the std zed wheels is +30mm all round.

Don't forget revolutions per mile need to be 777 front & 756 rear to keep you from having ESP problems. That can be adapted by your tyre size though.

Best thing to do is find someone local with a zed and try em on

I dont think they will fit..Your looking at a domestic bolt pattern and import bolt pattern. Although I may be wrong.. Let us know..

Not to mention, why would you want the same wheels on both cars?

I'm not crazy about chrome, but if you like 'em & they fit, go for it. That style though looks like they belong on a muscle car, not a sports car. Just my opinion though FWIW.

The Firebird wheels have a 5-4.75 bolt pattern - they won't fit on the Z. Even if they did, they have too much offset (38mm) so they'd tuck in too much.

Get some Privat Fahrens then ... the eagles will likely be the wrong offset and the wheels will look tucked.

Don't get Volks ... please ... be different

They're decent and pretty sporty on a Z. But those look great on Mustangs, W and F body. From your post numbers it looks like you're new here. Spend a few minutes looking through the gallery and you should acquire new taste in wheels.

5ZR were my first choice and I'm glad I got them.

I'm considering these when I get my Z:

I like 5-spoke wheels too, but they not only have to look good, but be lightweight. These I believe are 18lbs each for the 18x8.5".
