They will A) Hang out quite far, giving it a cool trailer park look, and B) will stick out just far enough to tear into the tire with your rear quarter every time you hit a bump, or launch hard, which could result in a high speed blow out. Get the rims that fit correctly.

Running a 26" tall tire you should be fine. My buddy ran a 15x10 with 6.5" BS on his wifes camaro and it rubbed with a 28x13.50R15 ET Drag but no where near the drama that some people make it out to be.
On a Z you aren't going to have as much room as a Firebird/TA but as long as you don't go with a tall tire you will be fine.

15x10 Prostars With an 01 Z28 I would recommend a 15x10 with a 7.5 back space. This would allow you to run a 26x11.50-15 tire. Part # 96-510284
Hope this helps.
