i have an s60 that is shortened either 1" or 1.25" per side. i forget. and strano/konis.
i have rpm 505's 19x9.5 with narrow vredestein tires and it fits fine. it tucks the wheels quite a bit the way i like it it. no problems here.
with other wheels, you will have a problem unless you go 15's or 16's. and that will depend on the offset.
i have problems with 17x10.5 TTM wheels on sumos. i have a 1/4" spacer and had to cut my lca's since i didn't want to buy offset lca's. the inner fender is beat to **** with a fender roll. i'm not confident in launching hard on this setup because of the scare of rubbing/cutting on the lca's. i'm at the point where if these tires got deflated, i would be in some deep ****.
i did have the TTM wheels with a 1" adapter and it was fine for the most part i needed a fender roll. before the fender roll, i cut chunks out of my tires. this is all with an adjustable panhard.

plan this out hard or be prepared to buy $3k+ wheels or minitubbing. eventually i will have to mini tub to get wider tires on. using specs that are too close will put you where i'm at.

If a 17x11 will fit stock, it will fit on a narrowed rear end WITH THE CORRECT BACKSPACING. Smokedoutz has a set of 17x12s on his car and he mentioned that they fit without and beating. I'm planning on rolling my fender lips too, that way I don't have to worry about it.

ask SmokedOutZ28 what he has as options for wheels in the sub $2k range since you said you didn't want to spend $3k for wheels.

You mentioned you narrowed the rear 1" per side, meaning that if you run a 1" wheel spacer a wheel designed for a stock f-body then it will fit perfect. Thats just common sense.
i don't have confidence in launching with a 1" adapter so don't go in this thinking that you can get back to stock wheel options by using a 2" adapter and feel safe.

Sorry if I'm sounding like a dick, but I'm planning on getting custom wheels built for a 4" narrowed rear. I just don't see why you are trying to put stock wheels on a narrowed rear and expect them to fit.

You sure as hell don't need to spend 5k to get custom wheels for a Third Gen, why the **** would you need to spend 5k to get custom wheels for a 4th gen?

Common. Sense. People. GOD.

There are wheels out there that won't cost too much for a custom offset. TT2s are an example, they will cost more than the regular TT2s, but not cost the price of a billet set of wheels.

But if I end up spending 5k on wheels, I'll be happy to post up pics for you

And I know that they are 2 different bolt patterns, thats a different story. But it looks like these will be perfect as far as fit goes, I'd still really like to get 18s especially since I will be spending over $1400 just for the wheels. And I would more than likely repaint the centers of the wheels to give them a custom touch.

So if anyone has suggestions for 18s that will be roughly the same price post them up or PM me a link, $360 a wheel for 17s, I don't know if I can justify that
