What year is your car? The 4th Gens up to late 1996's have an oversize rear axle hub. Often, when you use factory later model F-Body or Corvette wheels, the hub hole in the wheels is smaller than the axle hub. In that case, the inside diameter of the hole in the wheel will need to be sanded or lightly ground for the wheel to fit.

Whether they will need the BFH depends on the offset. If the offset is in the range of 45-56mm, you will not have any problems front or rear with a 9.5 wide wheel. Not likely to require hammering at all, as stated in the post above.
