Wheel question

I am looking at a wheel I love but the offset is not ideal. The fronts are 20x9 +32, I plan on adding a 5mm spacer. The rear offsets are fine so I’m not concerned about that. The supplier guarantees it fits my ‘17 SS but what do you guys think?

Btw trying to get a flush or just slightly inside the fender look.

well.... off set is just one factor, Even if a wheel is a 20x8.5 25 off set it wont mean it fits over the calipers. design will also play a factor.
but yes a 5mm spacer should get the wheel sitting close enough where is not to tucked in, just test fit for caliper clearance.

Thank you for your help. The wheel is the Velgen Classic5 and it has been used on 5th gens successfuly so the design should work.
5 spoke design wheels are hard to find for these cars.
