What size wheels/tires do you have?
You can go up to a 3/32" spacer and still be able to use the cheap ones you can get at Jegs. They are just aluminum disks with holse drilled in them. Kind of a "one size fits most" proposition.
Anything more than 3/32" and the wheel starts falling off the hub. Then, you may want to get some of the fancier kind that bolt to the hub and have lugs on them. these can be $100 or more.

18x9.5 C5 ZO6's. 275/35/18 tires. I just want to have a wide stance outback, Im am worried that when I drop, it will look too tucked away.

Try a 1/8" spacer.
Or, if you're willing to get ARP studs, and promise not to do anything crazy, you can probably go wider than that.
I've got ARPs all around, and I've run a 3/16" spacer up front for 5 years now. This is road racing and autoxing with 315 wide slicks, too. The front's don't sit onthe hub, and I've had no problems.
You just hear a lot of people say that you want to keep them on there. Do not do this with stock studs - I broke almost a dozen before switching.

how wide of a spacer are you thinking of?
you can use one of the plate style ones (get a decent one like in the pic of my 3/8" spacers and not the cheapo slotted universal ones) and good strong ARP studs are a must!
thicker spacers should be the adapter/spacer style. Old pic of my 1" spacer before I changed all the studs to ARP's (Don't ever trust stock studs!!)
I have pics of the 1" spacers in the rear (front spacers are just for the skinnies) but only on a stock height car with stock rims in my f-quick garage. (click my sig) No help on how it will look or what to get for other rims though.

I had 1" hub-centric adapters on mine when I had the Z06's on. I believe that may be too much for the camaro though, as the quarters are wider on the 'birds and can get away with more.
I currently have a small spacer disk on the front along with ARP studs.
Here is an old pic with the 1" adapters all the way around with the Z06's
