I looked at the junkyards website, one fiero doesn't have its wheels. If the others are missing as well is there any other gm car I can snag the wheels off of?

I think any 85-98 N-body (Grand AM, Skylark, etc.) or L-Body (Beretta, Corsica) will bolt up. IIRC the Fiero is the small pattern 5 - lug (5x100)

I have had issues finding 14-15" 5x100 wheels, wide 15" wheels in 5x100 are impossible to find, because I have a set of 275-35-15 but I think it will be a no go.

I think celica's run 5x100 wheels as do Subaru's but is the offset the same

Maybe a set of turbo dodge wheels from a daytona, spirit or sundance? Not sure if the center bore is compatible though. May be hard to find anything wider than 7 inches other than the 88 Fiero GT wheels.. NINJA EDIT: Found these on the bay of E Shelby Turbo Z But don't think they will be wide enough for what you want.

Would these wheels work?

Thanks for the compliment Rick, but the vehicle belongs to Willrunifchased, not sure if he's registered it yet. I do know TB has offered to use his registration instead of him finding something so...

Who knows, at this point your guess is as good as mine!

Damn Karl, ya beat me to it!

Dude I would say bring it over btw, there should be plenty of space under the canopies. I can't guarantee anyone's help! But I've never seen a challenger in the parking lot that needed some help NOT have it offered. ESPECIALLY if there is beer and food involved!

For editorial and promotional purposes, could someone from the team make a single post in this thread listing "official" team members, hangers on, and assorted co-conspirators. We'd like screen name and real name if applicable.

Thanks. Just trying to do our jobs, ma'am.

Les, Johnny, Greg, Jeremy, and myself (I'm sure I'm forgetting someone) got asked @ ~1:30am to shut it down. She's a loud beast with an open exhaust. Not sure if it was the backfiring or just the car, that got the complaints from the other guests, but we happily complied with the requisite amount of razzing to the poor soul that got nominated to send the message. (Seriously we just shut it down) having some teething issues getting it to run on the squirt, anyone have a proper base map for a turbo 3.4?

Other note... Which one of ya'll picked up my phone?

Nice job guys! I had my mom spying on you guys a little bit last night, while we were on skype. You guys looked really busy though so she got out of the way.

I hear that the concours isn't until tomorrow, so does that mean you will paint the car tonight?
