Spacers + longer studs
I'm gonna run 5/16" spacers out back when I get my new wheels. That should make 18x10.5" wheels with a 56mm offset flush with the fender, right?
Obviously I'm going with longer studs also. The question is, where can I get quality spacers and studs? And some extended lug nuts?
Not sure where to look for that kinda stuff tbh.
Thanks!

5/16" spacers wont come close to flush. You need 25mm. You can get longer studs at auto parts stores like Napa, and spacers you will have to search for, but get some good bolt on, hub centric ones.

Are you sure? I've been through a lot of threads regarding this, and I've seen a few Camaros with 1/4 and 5/16 spacers and they all looked pretty flush to me. Then again, the TA quarter panels reach out a little further. What kinda spacers are you running?
powerhousecamaro has 1/4 spacers with the same wheels I'm getting, looks pretty good to me.

Have to take into account what offset the wheels are. You have a 56mm offset which is a lot. For most fbodies, a 30-35mm offset is good. Spacers in my pics are 7/16's. I have since put on 25mm in the rears. Havent had a chance to take any new pics because of the weather. My rears are 18x10.5 with 56mm offset. 5/16 spacer didnt do sh*t, just in my experience lol. I"ll try to snap a pic or two later, of my grime covered car and post em.
