Wider wheels

I bought a set of 15 x 8 wheels for my 1983 z28. These are an inch wider than the stock 15 x 7 wheels. I was wondering if anyone else put these on and if they had any problems, specifically any significant steering problems, or clearance issues.

As long as they have the correct backspace for a thirdgen, they will be just fine.
