Default Will these wheels fit?

Hi all, newbie here. I'm sure this has been asked several times, but I have a set of 1994 Corvette wheels (17x8.5 front, 17x9.5 rear) to go on my 02 Z28. I had the fortunate opportunity to test fit these before purchasing (which I haven't done yet, they're my dad's) and noticed a couple of things.

1. On the front wheels (haven't tested the rears yet) the inside of the spoke comes awfully close to the brake caliper, it doesn't contact it, but I have maybe a couple of millimeters of clearance. Is this okay? I can't imagine the wheel would flex, but better safe than sorry.

2. Since the rear tires are wider, will they still fit without rubbing in the wheel well, or would I have to get a set of spacers?

3. Lastly, I know that the offset on stock camaro wheels is +55, and that the front of these corvette wheels is +56 and the rears are +54 (but also that the offset changes based on wheel width)

Anyway, to make a long post very short, will these rims fit?

Thanks!

I actually did look through that lol. I didn't find anything there, but if nothing else I can take some sandpaper and just shave a little off the caliper. I took a feeler gauge and measured the clearance... .02" ><
