Default Will 17 x 11's fit on my TA?

I tried to search, but it did not find any results that I was looking for.
I am about to purchase some Torq Thrust II's and want to put 17 X 11's in the back.

1. Will they fit? I have seen some pics of cars with some 315's in the back, so I figure they must.

2. What is the offset that I need to order?

Any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!
P.S. - I want to <img border="0" alt="[Firebird]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" />

They'll fit! Although, if your car is lowered, you may have to do some modifications to the inner fenderwell. Everyone will give you a different answer on this subject. I for one, didn't have to do anything to my car to make them fit! My car is lowered (eibach pro-kit) and I'm still running the stock panhard rod. The only time they rub, is if I bottom out REALLY hard, and even then it is very minimal.

best case senario is that nothing will have to be done, Usually an adj PHR will do the trick and center everything up if it does rub.
Typically you'll need to either pound on the fender wells a bit or get a adj, panhard rod. Sometimes it takes both.
When lowered it often takes both, but not always.
But this is typically, the most common things that have to be done, there is enough variations in build that there is no one thing that needs to happen
