Well I just looked up/Googled "1983 Fiero steel wheel" and the Fiero's wheel didn't appear to be the same as the one you but in the box above... :-(
BUT it does appear the eBay seller offers
Hassle Free Returns! so I mean hey maybe its just worth a shot? But yeah the wheels I found weren't the same as what you posted above, so I'd be skeptical how well they might fit.
The caps are ending on Ebay so I posted the pic instead.
I dont think the center part of the wheel changed from the first gen to the second and the lug nuts should hold them on if not .....the black screw on caps should.

https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php under this listing 1985 PONTIAC FIERO 2.5L 151cid L4 : Brake/Wheel Hub : Rotor says that PONTIAC FIERO (1984 - 1987) uses a

Well here is some solid proof that these caps will in fact bolt up if anyone is interested in using them.
There are 2 styles that fit one is Chevy and the other is Pontiac.
I recommend using the 1st gen lug nuts with the chrome Chevy cap, it fits the metal backing plate safer.
On the Pontiac Cap I recommend using the 3rd gen lug nut with the plastic screw on sudo bolt covers. Pleasing appearance and nice snug fit with no chance of falling off.
.
Thanks for the Info and taking the time to mock them up Orlen, the black Pontiac ones will do, a nice silver with a clear coat on a gloss black wheel is what I'll probally do. ( Old GM COPO or cop car look)

Hey, I like your way of thinking!!
Those black lug nut covers will really pop against the Silver Center Cap, and the Cap will blend in beautifully with some trim rings to boot! You got it going!!
Gotta share some photos of the progress!!
.
Here it is so far Orlen.........................

Sweet!!
Looks like you are going after the 1st gen GT look.
Think I have a few photos of one for inspiration:
Keep up the Great Work!! Your J is beginning to be rather unique , kinda like my own - so if you do decide to rob a bank, DON"T make this the getaway car. They'll find you in a flash!!

As a logical follow up to this thread I thought it would only be fitting to give the 3rd gen standard 15" steelies a check to see "what if?"
Glad to report that these will work as well!

Caps are done and on, but the black plastic covers for the lug nuts are too long ,
Orlen ,do you have a part number or year the shorter ones are from?
Thanks, Doug

As you can see in the pic below , the 44mm ones stick out too far.

Good Job Orlen, where did you get the Jetzons from? I had those on my first car ( 62 Bel Air) on the rear only ,in my old street racing grounds in Rochester Ny ( white letter of course) way back in the mid 1970's.
Friend had a wholesaler that let use bypass the middle man for tires back then.
Didnt think they still made them anymore..................................?

Doug I picked those old tires up cheap at the local yard earlier this year. I've had a very hard time finding the 185/70's there. I have all different kinds of sizes and wanted to see just how well the 185's looked on here. So it is hard to tell how old they are, but they still got some tread on them and hold air so they will get some use during these sour months we have to endure. Still keeping an eye out for you some lug nut covers when I get over there - will get some more yard time after the holidays are behind us!
.
This will help you on date coding your tires Orlen..........
