I have a set on my 97 Z28. You'll need a 15 x 3-1/2 wheel with a 1-3/4 backspace. The only way they will fit is with a 5/16 spacer and for safety you'll need longer wheel studs.

I hear the Summit/Jegs brand wheels fit without grinding as well and look almost identical.

Whats the shortest stud for the front with 15x3.5x1.75bs that will still allow full thread engagement?

Ive read the gm performance part studs will work and they are 2.67" long

With my Draglites and a 5/16 spacer and using the ARP 3.25 inch long studs, I have about 1-1/2 to 2 threads exposed from the ends of my wheel lugs.
