G-body rears are a lot narrower than 82-up f-body rears. No it won't work.

"What if I use spacers?"

You'd spend more on good quality spacers than it's worth to do the swap.

"What if I get wheels with the right offset?"

That would be some severe negative offset.

The G-body setup also won't have torque arm provisions.

So all in all, the answer is no, at least not without significant other modification to the rear or the car.
