If my garage was ever that empty and that neat, my wife would go straight out to double-check the street name and the number on the mailbox to make sure that she went into the right house.

There's more than just offset involved. The shape of the back sides of the spokes matters . . . a lot. Choosing wheels that specifically list fitment on GT500's is usually a safe bet.

These wheels do fit the gt500 if you run an 8.5 in front, im trying to run a 10! im going to stack enough washers behind the wheel until it clears, measures the length and order a spacer plus lugs.

Yea all wheels just cuz the 8.5 fit the fronts on a gt500 doesn't necessarily mean the rears also fit the fronts. It's all in the spokes and back hub design/clearance.

I guess since you mounted them you wont be able to return them. Spacers seems like the only option.

First thing I did when my wheels came in was tried them with a 1/4" spacer and confirmed those fit. Then measured the distance between the spoke and the caliper and found it was closer to 3/4". Removed the 1/4" spacer then and all was good. I think I got the cheap universal 1/4" spacers for $15 from Autozone just to test the spacing out.
