BOSS 338 rim on camaro 4th gen ?

Hi, I plan to put BOSS 338 rims from JDWHEELS on my 1997 camaro. However, I'm afraid it won't fit because of the offset :

front 245/40 R18 on 8x18 offset +2mm
rear 285/35 R18 on 9.5x18 offset +2mm...

Please confirm if it will fit or not at all. They were looking good...

Look at your stock wheels. The front Boss 338 18x8 +2mm will stick out 2" further than the stock wheel, putting it outside the front fender. The Boss 338 18x9.5 +2mm will stick out almost 3" more than your stock wheel, putting it outside the rear fender.

You can special order these from Boss in the right offset i believe. I love these wheels also as i was going to run them on a C10. Im very interrested to know how these will look.

Thanks for your replies.

you confirm my doubts about the offset, so I will directly ask BOSS if they can produce some with right offset...another problem !

If they can't, I found Sportmax 962 Gun metal wheels with, this time, good offset. I'm waiting for their quotation to new caledonia (I hardly have some answers when it comes to give some quotation to foreign countries or island lol. American people seems to have already too much hard work inland ).

Thanks

Another set that looks very similar is the boyd smoothie IIs and will come in the correct offset needed.

I have seen a maro with 20" boss 338 Rollin around here. They look sick, he told me it was stock ride height, but the lips where rolled a little on the fenders. But other than that he has no issues and says the ride quality is not bad either
