Need advice! Bought 2 rims from a firebird, different offset! Ok I think I messed up bigtime here. I just bought 2 rims off a 1990 firebird, the rims are 16x8. Unfortunately, at the time I did not realize the rims he sold me were different offsets!
I have yet to try fitment on my car yet, but is it a bad thing to runs these two rims even though they both have different offset? Can anyone identify which rim is supposed to be intended for the rear?
Really sucks, already had my MT ET Streets mounted on these rims. Help!

Camaro 82-92 16x8 front 0mm 4.35"
Camaro 89-92 16x8 rear 16mm 5"
Camaro 82-92 16x8 front 0mm 4.35"

Strangely enough the one with the deeper dish is made for the front. (first one)
Second one is for the rear.
The bad thing is, either one will stick out on a fourth gen some.
Depending on the tire size they may fit under the fenders, BUT it isn't the right offset for your car.

I see, so there not the same offset compared to the factory rims, but they wont work for drag radials? These tires wont see street duty... Will they have problems rubbing or something?
The fact that they will stick out, will this cause an issue?
