what's the bolt pattern? if it's the right bolt pattern, 5 x 4.75" (?), you can easily run them with spacers, but it will cost probably $300 - $400 for the spacers, and you're gonna have to do some measurements on the car to determine what size spacer to run in the rear.
The front is easy, you will want to get approx 4.25 - 4.5" backspacing up front, and you'll be in good shape. Since the rims are the same 8" width as stock rims, you won't have any problems.
but if you run the stock 5" backspacing in the rear with a spacer, then the wheels will stick out 2 inches further than stock on each side, which i think is gonna be too much. Ideally, you'd want around 6" backspacing in the back, but that backspacing might rub, so you're gonna need to measure it out, and find the happy medium that works.
I know there's some people on this board with 11" wide Zr1's in the back, so maybe they could prove helpful with an optimal backspacing.
