    Maybe.

    Offset of the rim can help determine if they will fit.

    I know that 9 to 9.5 will require fender rolling.

    Yes u can rub on stock suspension. Ur gonna need a low offset with how wide the rim is. Even with a low offset. It's probably gonna sit mexi-flush. What I mean to say is. It won't look good.

    Depends actually.

    I ran 18x9's on my car with a +30 offset. I had to roll my fenders but my car was lowered pretty low. 9.5's might be pushing it..

    Time to whore my pics, Here's how mine looked with that offset..

    Then it's probably +30. My wheels were made for 05+ Mustangs.

    Probably because there 5x114.3 and our bolt patterns are 5x115. To answer you it's such a minor difference you won't have any issues. Been
    running 114.3 as well as 4.5 for the last 4 years have 0 broken studs.

    I had no issues with mine and all the aftermarket wheels I had on the car were all 114.3x5. If you're worried about breaking studs, get ARP wheel studs. They won't ever break.

    I guess impala owners like to get plain Jane wheels in 5x115 bolt patterns. Brokers studs are usually from morons not torquing their lug nuts properly are using a impact or crappy lug nuts. 3-4 years from me on 114.3..0 studs have been broken.60k miles later. I just reread your first post if your brother has the rims why not just jack up your car and try them on and go from there ?

    And to add to it you can get hub centric rings as well if its a issue for you.

    read that link now they are still battling it out, basically saying gp members are all retarded. god forbid people with actual experience with wrong bolt pattern say anything on the impala site cause the impala ppl will beat them down

    That's just like saying impala and most gp parts aren't interchangeable. Yea it may not be listed...kind of like looking up a part off autozone or something but it will work.

    Legally, you can't even have a single modification on your car.

    Do they rip on you for that too?

    if you go through the site for a bit you'll find out why impala's come to gp forums... they are not very friendly unless your their to just figure out a issue/problem.
