Default Oem Y2k Wheels on 99 Camaro

Need some help here... I got a set of OEM y2k wheels. They are the ones with the 18x9.5s in the back with a 65mm offset (I think). What size of spacer would you suggest running with this? Also would 245/40/18s look funny on the back?
Thanks for the suggestions!

two questions for you, why do you want to put that small of a tire in the back? and why do you want to put a spacer on it? im running stock vette Y2Ks on my camaro. and im lowered.

Reason A. they were cheaper but I decided on a bigger tire.
B. on your car, the wheels looked "tucked" as they do on mine so a 1 inch spacer should line the end of the tire up better with the fender.

Ah, i see what your saying. honestly they look more "tucked" in photos then they do in person, at least i think so. i dont notice them being that tucked in except when i take pics of it.

Ya our cars look very similar from that kinda "3/4 angle". If you or I did the hub centric 1 inch spacer it would look more aggressive. Kinda like an 11" wide wheel. I was just seeing if anyone had first hand experience and pics of different wheel spacer sizes.
