what would be required to convert the fiero wheels(hubs??????) to a new offset so other wheels would fit? that question sounds akward... I hope you know what I mean..
If bolting the 99/00 rotors on was a possibility, that might open the doors on installing the Old's Intrigue Autobahn brake kit which includes 11" rotors, NICE!!!!
This kit is no longer offered on Intrigues but GM made them for 1 or 2 years as options so the parts are still readily available..
The Grand Prix GTP sites found out about this and have been installing them like crazy...
Lebarons have 11.2" discs. you need adaptors for the front , as well as caliper adaptors. You can have 11" discs all around , This means better braking than a c4 corvette and about inline with a c2 911 porsche. This is the conversion I will be undertaking next week , I will be using Wilwod 4 piston calipers upfront instead of the firebird/ Camaro Calipers that are normally used.

Ah well, no matter. I currently do not have a Fiero anymore, but that is getting solved in June. The only Sy/Ty rims I have found around here for sale, that I have been looking at maybe buying, still have the truck atached to them anyways .

I have 17" wheels with lowering springs, I have plenty of room left for the spindles.

Owning a 2000 VW w/ Audi TT wheels I know they will fit on a Fiero: The TT is on the same MKIV platform with 5x100 bolt pattern. These are 17" x 7.5" wearing 225/45/zr17's off a 225 hp quattro TT. I'll get some pics when I swap the rims between the two .
