A guy here at work offered me $200 for my wheels and tires and I told him I didnt think they would fit, but I am not sure. Anyone tried or know for sure?

I'd say screw him over and take his money, but you work with him. :dunno:

I think there are pics somehwere with a F-body that has them on. Looks like a different wheel on other cars.
Face!

I saw them on a TA, they look way better on that car than they ever did on ours. Aftermarket wheels is the only way to go with this car, the 04 and 05's anyway. The factory 18's are a little better, though.

The F-body wheel will fit our cars. But the actual hub on the GTO wheel is too small for the F-body. They would have to machine them to fit.

Ahh, there we go. Thats something I didnt think about. No biggie, I didnt really want to sell them anyway.

I totally agree. I think the 17's look terrible. Not so much the style, but they just look way too small.

They will fit with some grinding, and they look a hell of a lot better on a TA than the GTO.. $200 is really cheap unless your rims are bashed up.

I was gonna say that. I remember hearing that a C5 Corvette owner put a GTO spare wheel & tire on his car. He said it was a struggle.
