there is a possibility of messing up your studs though due to the .65 difference
You had it backwards, the GTO wheels are 5X120mm, f-body is 5x120.65. That .65 doesn't seem like much until you see the lugs not centered in the holes, I tried 16 inch base Firebird wheels when I had my '04 GTO and would not have felt safe. The side loading on the studs will fatigue them, yet I still see GTO owners putting the f-body wheels on with slicks and thinking they're safe.
