5 x 4.75" is the correct bolt circle.
The wheel/tire will be moved out toward the outside of the fender approx. 1/2" compared to the stock 16x8 55mm offset (6-5/8" backspace) wheels. Should not present any problems, since the outside edge of the wheel will be in the same location as the stock WS6/SS wheel.

The only difference between front wheel drive wheels, and rear wheel drive wheels is the "offset"..... the fwd wheels generally have a large offset the puts the hub/mounting surface very close to the front of the wheel, and creates a large "backspace". But the 4th Gen F-Bodys also require that large "fwd" offset, so there are no hard and fast rules. Other than that one dimension, there is nothing that would cause a "fwd" wheel to be any different than a "rwd" wheel. As long as you have the correct offset/backspace, the wheel will "work".
