Default will c4 corvette wheels fit my 98 trans am?

I got a set of 17" drag radials that I need to mount on a set of rims for my 98 trans am. Came across a set of 17" c4 corvette wheels and was curious if they would fit on the rear of my car.
Here's the specs I found for the c4 wheels
front & rear 17"x9.5" 56mm (7.4" backspacing)dum

The 17x9.5", 56mm offset C4 sizing is commonly used for many reproduction ZR1/SS style wheels that are put on 4th gen F-bodies regularly. They fit without issue. Having said that, not all C4 wheels are 17x9.5" as some years of C4 used a 17x8.5" wheel up front.

So are the wheels make front and rear Or are they the same off set just different widths? Just want to make sure they will fit before I buy them.

Are these the ZR1/Grand Sport, 5 spokes that everyone who posted so far thinks they are, or are they the much hated on here, 'Veggie Matic'/disc NON ZR1/G.S., standard 'turbine' C4 style wheels???
