I think you'll be ok with those, sounds like they'll sit almost flush with the fender.

Should be OK on a 'bird, but the bolt pattern is technically wrong . . . 120.65 is the actual bolt pattern.

I would not run 35 mm offset on a Camaro though . . . 38 mm is the max there.

Heres a pic of my Bird with 18x8.5 fronts (stock ride height)



Now keep in mind that your suggested 9.5" wide wheels will stick out another 1/2".
At that point you may have issues when the wheel is at full jounce.

Just wanted to make you aware.

thanks for the pic man. It'll be close, we'll see, the car will also be dropped on strano springs. If anything i can always roll the fenders a bit.
Or if all else fails return the wheels lol.
