Default Some project Rollers??? help

I am looking to get some wheels to use just as rollers to move my 68 Camaro project around. I am running a stock sub frame with a complete ride tech level 2 kit including tru turn. I am going to be putting on either the kore3 big brake kit or the baer kit. the wheels I found local are 5th gen Camaro wheels 18x7.5 with 5.25 back spacing they are also 5x120 bolt pattern. again these will only be used as rollers do you guys think these will fit my suspension and brakes?
Thanks

my 5th gen didn't have a spare. Had a pump and a can of fix-a-flat.

GTO spare has the most clearance I believe.

The GTO spares or the 4th-gen spares? I bought a 4th-gen spare for around $40 shipped on fleabay. Granted it was last year.

The GTO spares. Apparently they've become somewhat desirable as drag car skinnies.

I'll have to check out the 4/5gen spares...I need rollers too.

I have (1) GTO spare Id like to get rid of, if anyone's interested. Don't see it being worth anywhere near 3 bills though. If anyone's interested, PM me an offer.
