The only issue may be caliper clearance. As the brake caliper body sits further forward than the wheel mounting face on the brake rotor, you need spokes that have a slightly forward swept angle. You could always slip in a small spacer if they do hit.

I have 16x8 IROC wheels on mine. Had to use all fronts due to offset. Had to clearance the E-brake cable bracket so it didn't hit the wheel weights.
