can i put 16X8 wheels w/ 245/50zr16 gs-c tires on my 87 firebird?

i want to order these from slp soon but i want to know if the tires are going to stick out on the sides too much. i want them to look wide but not stick out of the fenders. i know i will need to get spacers but i dont know where to buy them. thanks in advance

245/50-16 is the factory size for 16x8's

As long as the backspacing is close to factory wheels they won't stick out
