Default Will these fit my SS?

I found a good deal on some wheels that i think would look really good on my SS, but im completely clueless on fbody wheel fitment. Heres the available specs....

18x9.50 5x120 46 HYPER SILVER
18x9.50 5x120 15 HYPER SILVER
18x8.50 5x120 13 HYPER SILVER
18x8.50 5x120 38 HYPER SILVER




Which of these would fit? Id really like to go with the 9.5's. However if these wheels just wont fit i'll be moving on.

The ones I put in bold will fit. The ones not in bold will not fit. The number just after the 5x120 in each wheel is the offset. You're good down to around 35-38 in F-Bodies. Once you dip into the low 30s or any lower than that the wheels will stick out too far, look bad, and most likely cause rubbing issues.

I dont mean to jack your thread, but if i run an 18x9.5 with 35 offset, will this fit? Or will the rim be too wide for a 35 offset and rub?

Width doesn't matter unless you're going crazy big (over 10" up front, over 11" in the rear). 35 offset is about as low as I'd go on a F-Body, but IMO I'll only run a wheel with a 35-40 offset, no higher, no lower. They'll fit fine.

So i take it i could run the 9.5 +46 in the rear and the 8.5 +38 in the front with no issues?
