Default Will these wheels fit correctly? (Offset question)

Will these wheels fit, and what will the offset look like? Is the offset correct for a 2002 Z28? Will it sit in the wheelwell like it should, or will it be too far in/out?

Front: 17x9 +45mm Offset
Rear: 17x10.5 +44mm Offset

I found some sweet wheels with these dimensions, and am curious if they'll fit correctly. Thanks, Shawn

I have a 20x8.5 rim with a 45mm offset.The fronts are perfectly flush with the body, the rears stick out just a little bit, i will try to find a good pic if you think it would help.

The rear wheels will be tucked inside the fenderwells approx 1/2" and the front wheels will tuck approx 3/4"

So yes they should fit fine, and you could always use a very thin spacer on the front if you wanted to move the front wheels toward the outside to even up the offsets some.
