I thought I posted this question recently but can't find it...might have done something wrong, so please forgive me if this is redundant. I have (4) 14" aluminum Hurricane wheels, 3 of which have a 3/4" shoulder from the lip to the face of the wheel and 1 does not have the shoulder, just goes from the lip to the face. All 4 are the exact same diameter and width. The one without the shoulder has 3/4" more depth on the inside of the wheel over the ones with the shoulder. Will it matter mechanically speaking if I use this "odd" wheel with the other 3. I was told that it will sit deeper on the car, but have no effect on driveability. Can I use 4 of the same type of wheel together? Thanks.

This is a Fiero wheel:

This is a Grand Am wheel:

I think the offsets are a little different. I would say that you could use 4 of the same type without any major problems...

The wheel without a lip probably is from a Grand Am, not a Fiero. It should fit OK in front but may rub the strut if installed on the rear.

I have two Grand Am wheels on the front of my '85 SE. It's a cheap, effective way to reduce steering effort. I wouldn't recommend using only one Grand Am wheel on the front; it probably will do wierd things to your steering.

Yup! Have 3 Fiero wheels and 1 Grand Am wheel. Imagine that, just bought one Fiero wheel on E-bay. That makes the set of four. Just finished removing the paint and clearcoat on the 3. Refinishing them completely. Thanks for the help!!!
