Found a good deal on 93-96 grand prix mesh rims, 16 x 8 and 5 x 115, will they fit my Olds 88?

The rears may rub on the fender, I had to work on my '86 rear wheel well with the 225 width tire, on the Regal GS 16" rim, there was just enough rub on the chrome lip to the wheel well that was solved by bending up the lip a little. The GP rims have a lot of offset, and will probably rub more. But other than that they should fit.

If you like crosslaces, I would trade you for some Bonneville ones, which have less offset so less rear rubbing? I haven't yet, but I could test fit them on my '89 or '87 to see if they rub the buick, which should be similar to the olds. But they are white, and either need to be re-painted or sanded down an polished.
