Yes, well his question wasnt about wheels that size.
Those wheels seem to be OEM C6 wheels, which will not fit directly onto an f-body. The fronts should be fine, but the rears will need a larger spacer/adapter. 1" minimum.
Honestly, I hate staggered wheels, especially on an f-body. Stick with 18 all around.

1.25 is the correct size for the rear. Fronts will fit without issue.

I have C6 Z06s on my car with no spacers. It does look slightly funny in the rear, but I plan on selling them soon so I haven't gone out and bought a spacer for the rear.

Those offsets are designed for the corvette & not the fbody.
If one stays in the 38mm-- 53 mm offset you are safe providing you use the right size tire.

Those OEM C6 wheels look sick on your old car. I was just curious what size they were. I have a 95 trans am and I want to go with 18's all around but not sure about the width. Don't want any rubbing!
