They will not fit without adapters, they have way too much backspacing. However, Vette Brakes & Products makes really nice billet aluminum adapters that will solve this problem.
Once you get the wheels, lay a straight edge across the back of them and measure to the mounting pad. This is your backspacing. Order whatever thickness adapter is needed to get you to 5.25" or as close as you can get. This is my '73 'bird with '00 WS6 Trans Am 17x9" wheels, which have the same backspacing issue. I used the VB&P adapters to fit these wheels to the car.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
