Should be fine as long as the offsets on the wheels are good for a F-Body.

Sounds good, although do they make a 18" x 9" Rebel that fits a F-Car???

Dunno if it's too late or not but the offset on the 18x9 Rebels is only 25mm which isn't a good offset on the f-bodies if I remember right. which I think is why trav went 18x10 all the way around they're 41mm.
