I have a set of 18x10.5 ZO6's still in the boxes and from the research I did most people say that 53mm is a real good offset for f-bodys. I have been looking for tires and havent come across alot of 315's I have found alot of 295's for decent prices.

I just installed 10.5" Y2K wheels with 58mm offset on my 94 TA. They fit fine, no rubbing. But I may need to use either the BFH mod or install 1/8" spacers when I lower my car over the winter. I am hoping I can just center things with the adjustable PHB.
The 5mm difference between 53's and 58's only equals about .1968", or between 3/16" and 13/64". So a 3/16" spacer would make the offset almost the same as a 53mm wheel.
Xsta is right, 53mm is probably the best offset, but I think I would hit the lip of the wheelwell on my car if I used 53"s.

315's PZeros,10.5",58mm,H&R 25mm Heres the specs on my current setup:
2002 SS SLP A4
Topline C5 Z06 Chrome
18" x 9.5" Front & Pirelli PZero 275-35-18
18" x 10.5" Rear 58mm offset & Pirelli PZero 315-30-18
H&R - 25mm(~1") hubcentric spacer 5:120.65/70.5
10xDRM nuts- 125001
10xDRM bolts- 1253044
Fenders Have been rolled
No BFH mod
Eibach Sportline Springs
Koni Single Adjustables S&S- All 4 corners
Umi Adjustable Panhard Rod
Umi Weld-Subframes
Pros VS Cons opinion
Pro's- Best tires Ive had, Great traction (way overpriced though)
Con's- I dont like the way the spacers look, Front is too tucked and rear sticks out too much, should have at least went with a thinner spacer.
Overall I sought local help and guidance of local shops in marin which was not the best idea, I think the set up looks ok but would do it differently If I had to choose again.
Looking for suggestions on the following:
Would a BFH mod allow me to remove the spacer? If not would moving to a 295 or 285 be done without a spacer?
My front end camber needs to be adjusted every few months- after a fix they remain upright like they should but slowly creep inward (quite annoying and costly to fix every time)??
