Yes they will fit. The fit will be tucked into the fender though. Optimal offset for a f-body on vette replica's are 56mm or 53mm. The OEM's have a greater offset causing the wheels to set in the fender more. If it were me I would pass on them. Just because of the offset

Check this Sticky out. It show the proper offset's and fitments. I don't know the exact offset of the OEM vette wheels but I know it is greater thatn 56mm's

They look ok, and can be had CHEAP. Here are a few pics on my car from a couple years ago.

those don't look bad on your car, but with a different color it might not work as well.

If i got those i'd have them powdercoated.
