Default wheel and tire help?

I am trying to sell a set of aftermarket wheels n tires that were on my 2007 GT. They are 17" x 9" (+38mm with 6.55" backspacing, 5-lug, 5 on 4 ½). A guy called me about putting them on his son's 96 GT Stang and asked me if they would fit. I guessed no but told him he was welcome to try them out to see.

Can anyone tell me straight out if they will be ok? Thanks!!!

by the way, here's what calculator came up with:

When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 63.1mph (101.6km/h): 5.2% faster

Package is 11 mm (0.4'') closer to suspension/brakes components. Acceptable for most cars.

Package will stick out 19 mm (0.7'') farther. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider narrower tires or higher offset.

Will fill out the wheelwell by extra 17 mm. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider lower profiles or smaller rims.

They will fit out back, but NOT in the front.
