Default AFS ZR1 Fitment question

I posted my question in the "does this fit sticky" first, but I thought I may get a reply faster doing it this way. Here goes: I have a friend who is selling some 17x9.5 36 mm offset rims and I was wondering if they would fit on my 99 Camaro SS if I installed SLP's jouncer kit. This right here:

I put just the rim on my car today and looked at it in the air and it looked good as far as clearance goes, but it didn't have a tire so I don't how or if it will rub. Please help me out because I hate to pass up this good deal on these rims. Thanks for the help in advance.

36 offset wheels are a bit aggressive for a Camaro, although they will ift. I run 38 mm.

The spacer . . not a major requirement. It will limit the axle travel, and reduce the possibility of the tire contacting the wheel well lip.

Thanks for the help Xsta Z28. What problems do I need to look for? The tire rubbing the fender lip? I noticed that they appeared to stick out a little farther than my current rims, which i liked. My current wheels:

On a decent sized bump the rear axle w/o the spacers can travel far enough upwards that the outer edge of the tire could contact the top of the rear quarter panel.
