Default Wheel size for fbody

so i have a 00 TA im looking to put a set of grand sport rims for a c6 vette on it can a fit in the rear 19 x 12 or will i have to go with a 19 x 10. i have massaged the wheel wells a little bit. i have been able to put a 315/35r17 on a 17 x 10 wheel before. i guess the easy way of putting this can i just put a set of Grand Sport wheels and tires for the new corvette on my Trans am.

Paul you need a minitub or do your own with a hammer and youd have to cut out the bumpstops and weld metal in its place and such. Also, roll the quarterpanel lip.
