Question 3rd gen wheel on rear of 4th gen?

will a 15x7 alloy wheel off a mid-eighties z28 fit on the REAR of my '98 z? i know the bolt pattern is the same, but will it fit over the rear disc brakes, and will the backspacing work without rubbing?
i have a pair of good slicks (26x9-15) mounted on said wheels, but they are across the country at my parents house, and i wonder if it's worth it to ship them to me.

They'll stick way out of the fender wells.

You need spacers to run 4th gen wheels on a 3rd, so like stated above, the wheels will stick out on a 4th. (Don't know about brake clearance though)
