    Anything is possible if you have fabrication skills. But the bolt pattern is different and they will not simply bolt onto your car.

    no you cant just bolt them on. the trans am has bolt patern of 5 x 4 3/4 and the mav has a pattern of 5 x 4 1/2.

    If they're aftermarket(14s on a T/A) they may be unilug which means they would probably fit.I though all '77 T/As had something like 15x7s stock?

    As an original (and current) owner of a '79 T/A I can testify to the 5 on 4 3/4" bolt pattern. The Snowflakes came in two widths - 15 x 7 and 15 x 8.
