Most likely will fit, but it depends on the offset. However, why would you want to put such a narrow wheel on your car (unless it's for skinny fronts)?

They will certainly fit physically, but the offset is going to be the deciding factor. I agree w/ glennhl..... Why go so narrow? You can get a lot more tire on a 9.5". Good luck to you.

Way too narrow for an f-body IMO.

A 7" wide wheel might have a 225 width tire on it. Too narrow.

Those wheels wouldn't fit your car anyway. Offset is all messed up. In general you can tell it won't work for your car by how close to the outside the spokes are. Good luck on your search.

Lug pattern and offset are needed to know.
