help quick...do i need wheel spacers?

I have a 92 firebird with the stock 15"rims. I am about to buy(tomorrow if they fit) some factory 16 x 8 formula rims. Will these fit my car with out wheel spacers in the rear? Or do I need them? Any formula owners out there know about this, or any one who has experienced this before? Please give me some advice, before I buy. Thanks a ton!
