Default will these wheels fit my Z28

i wanted to know if these wheels will fit my 99 Z28. the specs are as follows:

they are Grand Sport replica wheels made for Trans Ams
the front wheels are 17x9.5(+38mm/ 6.7" offset/bs)
the rear wheels are 17x11(+36.5mm/ 7.397" offset/bs)

i called AFS wheels and they that setup will work and would only extend 1/2" more than stock wheels. they also said that it would be a better set up than the usual camaro offset because they would clear without rubbing. please lemme know what you guys think. thanks

The best for our cars for the rears is a +50mm 7.93" 17x11 l run a 17x10.5 with a +44mm and had to roll the lip. lm sure you will have to do at least that with thoughs specs! You may not be able to ever lower the car either.

it looks ugly with that offset, get the 50mm offset. there are guys with the 17x11's and a 50m offset lowered. They roll the lip, and I believe take thier bumpstops off.

Actually the 38 mm offset on a 17" x 9.5" wheel looks VERY good. Thats how my FIKSE's came.

Now the 17"x 11" fits better at a 44mm or 50mm offset. At 36mm on a Camaro the rear wheel will stick OUT of the wheel well. YUCK.
