1996 Pontiac Firebird Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1996 Pontiac Firebird (Base, Formula, or Trans Am) bolts to a 5x120.65 pattern with a 70.3mm hub bore. The factory wheel measures 16x6.5 with a 45mm offset. You can step up to 17-inch or 18-inch sizes ranging from 17x8 up to 18x8.5, or stay with 16-inch options between 16x6.5 and 16x8. This platform does not use staggered sizing, so you'll run the same size all four corners.
Keep in mind that only wheels with a 5x120.65 bolt pattern will fit your Firebird. Since most aftermarket wheels have a larger center bore than your hub, use hub-centric rings to center the wheel properly and avoid vibration. Aggressive offsets or extremely wide fitments may contact the fender or suspension, so verify your chosen width and offset combination for adequate clearance before ordering.
Every wheel we offer for your Firebird is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. American Racing, US Mag 1PC, Performance Replicas, Vision, E5 Wheels, WELD Performance, Forgestar, and Ridler are in stock and ready to ship now.
