I know the bolt patern is the same, but will they fit our cars? Do you need to bore the center hole? Is the offset the same? Does anyone currently use these wheels or wheels from a newer GM car? (cobolt, malibu, etc.)

Kinda on subject but I didn't see dodge neon on that list whereas one of my friends had an 02' Neon with aftermarket rims and when he traded the car in he sold me those rims and they worked for my fiero.

If I recall correctly my Catera wheels were 16x7 with 30mm offset. They are really nice rims but a bit heavy. These would look good on Cobalts, Malibu Maxx, etc. Offset might be a problem for those applications.

As already mentioned, Catera wheels won't fit a Fiero.
If you like aftermarket wheels, anything that will fit a "new" VW bug will also fit on a Fiero. They have the same bolt circle and centerbore, and similar offsets.
I should add that if you have an 88, look for Subaru Impreza wheels to fit your fronts. They have the deeper offsets ~48mm that help them to match the front 88 track width. The only potential "gotcha" is that Subarus have a 56.1mm centerbore, where the Fiero requires a 57.1 centerbore. But many aftermarket Subaru wheels are sold with the usual "universal" center bore, which allows the use of whatever hubcentric ring you need. Also, rims smaller than 17" or wider than 7", with the deep offset, might scrape the lower control arms at full lock. My 17x7s with 48mm offset do not scrape, but I was warned that they might.

The Catera wheels are great looking and are exactly what I would like for my DOHC 3.4 project car but if I could only find something that looks that good in that style that would fit. I have looked everywhere on the forum and elsewhere that is what I want as far as looks and nothing to me looks better. Call it personal taste but Scotttrinne has good taste in wheels too!

I thought the base Neon's ran 4 bolts and SRTs have the 5x100. I may be wrong about the base Neon's, but I know for sure that that SRT rims will fit though.
