Thanks.

Yeah, the Formula feels like a Cadillac compared to any other older Fiero I've owned. However, when pushed a bit in the corners, I don't like the feel. Too soft... and I have all new shocks and struts installed. So you gotta know I'll be altering and/or replacing the springs for autocross.

Does that mean that when you put aftermarket wheels with same size offset front and rear, that your front wheels are now sticking out further than the rear wheels?

Yep.

The front hubs on an '88 stick out more than the earlier years, but the rear is the same width as all Fieros.

So... it'll look a little odd if the same width/offset wheels are put on front and back on an '88.
