Yes, they will fit but they're very narrow.

17x8 48mm offset
18x8 48mm offset

Also, the GTO bolt pattern is 5 x 120mm and the hub bore is approx 65mm.

GTO wheels are heavy also. I run BMW 17" style 119 wheels on my '04 goat since they're much lighter than the stockers. The offset is correct, but I have to run hub centering rings.

I don't think they'll work due to the lug pattern not being quite the same. Why not sell them and get proper vette wheels? They probably would sell on the GTO board, but I think you need 50 posts to sell something.
