You should be able to fit them. Most guys with 2nd Gen Firebirds/TA's will run a 17x9.5 with a 5.5 backspacing. They generally run 17x8 with either a 4 or 4.5 backspacing on the fronts.

The fronts should be fine with 4"... but yeah, the rears will probably stick out a bit past the wheel well lip... I've seen 9.5" wide rims run 5" backspace though and it looked good... so it may not be too bad with 4.5".
