Post Will 1990 SC wheels fit on my 1994 LX?

I have an opportunity to get a free set of wheels from a 1990 TBird SC. Does anyone know if the wider wheels would fit on my 1994 TBird LX?

Also, what would I gain from a performance standpoint with the wider/lower provfile set regarding fuel economy, handling, foul weather performance, etc?

Supercoupe wheels will for sure swap from 89 to 97 birds and cougars.

Wider tires will give you more tread on the road for sure, buying low profile tires will throw your sppedo reading off approx. 5 miles an hour as well as taller ones. All depends on the look you want though. If you get a set make sure you get for example.. 225/60/16's, if going with SC rims that are rated M/S (Mud&Snow)for all season, or simple just buy a performance set for the summer season and use the other set, which you have already for the winters. That is what I did.
