It depends almost entirely on the offset. It would be a tight squeeze, so the offsets would have to be perfect.

I'm pretty sure that there is someone on the forums running those wheels. His username is something like " 73camaro98 ". He is using the Shelby Series 1 wheels.

With sufficient access to BMV information a license plate can provide the address of the vehicle owner to a would be criminal...

Who gives a ****. Seeing the lisc plate in a picture, or seeing it while he's sitting in front of you at a red light is no different.

Yeah really, who cares about showing your lic plate. If someone is desperate enough to track down my car via plate, drive across the country or wherever they are from, then camp out for a couple days to wait until they can attempt to jack my car then so be it. It's not like we own a lamborgini with unlocked doors and the keys in the ignition.

Exactly, so are you covering your license plate when you're driving around town? Or, if you show your car, do you cover it? If you do, you're one of the very few that do it. Why...because it's pointless. Right now just from my bedroom window, I can read 12 license plates. So, they better watch out.
