First off I know nearly nothing about wheels and tires, aside from tire width and wheel size im lost. I want to put something like 17" wheels on a 9.5" tire on the front and 18" with 10.5 on the rear. Would they fit right away or would I have to do spacers and things of that sort to make them fit? If you could provide tire size and wheel size with offsets and everything that would be much appreciated.

front 9.5" with offset of +38 to +56 mm and 255, 265, 275, 285 tire should fit.
rear 10.5" with offset of +38 to +50 mm and a 285, 295, 305, 315 tire should fit, may have to pound out some with the wider sizes.

I guess that would help a little....I recently bought a 96 ss, and im just not sure what are the right sizes for everything front and back...

Take the time to read through the FAQ.... it covers the 4th Gen's completely. There is info about wheels, what the dimensions mean, what offet and backspace are, how to pick an offset, what size tires fit correctly on what size wheels, etc.

You can easily run 17x9.5 on the front with a 275/40-17, and go up to 11" wide on the rear with a bit of minor modification.
