Default Will these offsets work?
I have a 96 GS. I found some used wheels but I don't know about the offsets. The wheels have the following backspacing:

The fronts are 7.5 inch backspacing (wheels are 17x10). The rears are 8.5 inch backspacing (17x11).

Does anyone know if these will work with 315/35 tires on back and 275/40 on the front?

Thanks, Cannon

Are they Vette wheels? Should have the backspace stamped inside the rim.

Probably more important is the offset
'96 had 50mm on the 11" rims and 56mm on the 9.5 rims
People have run 11' both ends so they will fit if the offset is right.
