While they may "fit" they, nor any other GM RWD wheels, will have the correct bolt circle. GTO is 5x120.0mm bolt circle, while most all GM RWD are 5x4.75" (translates to 5x120.65mm). The difference is small, but IMO you're still better off sticking with the correct bolt circle. Also the GTO wheel hubs are 69.5mm, which is smaller than standard Corvette wheels (which I believe are 70.5mm), so if nothing else a hubcentric adapter ring would probably be required.

Don't know offset on the wagon wheels. For reference OEM GTO wheels are 17x8 and 18x8, both with a 48mm offset...

Offset is WAY off, around 64 mm on the rear Vette wheels.

The front 17" wheels WILL fit, but mounted on the rear of your GTO. The 18" will NOT fit.
