Borbet wheels

as you can tell from the sig i drive a 91 trans am. right now i have a set of Porsche wheels on there that the previous owner installed along with spacers at all 4 corners. im looking to get new wheels and found these:

http://www.borbet.de/raeder-pkw/inde...y=&site_lg=lgb

im lookin to go with a 17x8 front and 17x9.5 back. ive been reading old posts here about offset and bolt pattern. ive discovered the bolt pattern is 5x3/4(5x120.7mm) and the offset stock is 0mm front and negative 16mm rear.

my question is, what does this do for fitment of those wheels? will i need to run adapters? i know anotehr guy on here was gonna run these same wheels but i havent read anymore from him about it. thanks.

i have aftermarket wheels and they were designed for a FWD car. no offset or backspacing whatsoever. i had to run the 2" adapters to get them to fit correctly. if this helps at all......
