Maybe on the front. It depends on your BS. You may hit your outer tie rod. https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=16609 It is also BS dependent on the back.

I have an unlimited budget. That bad part is I have already used it up.

My '67 original rear was 61" from drum face-to-drum face. This is an inch wider than the Camaro. My front track was 3/4" wider. Be careful to double check any suggested backspacings with measurements.

my 67 bird has 17x8 in front. I had to add steering stops that were about 1/2" thick to the lower control arms to eliminate tire scrub. That is with 255/45r17 tires. I am running a 9" diff so the backspacing will be different, I highly recommend measuring about 1000 times prior to buying any wheels.
