Hey Guys

I am about to order a set of spyders from 6litereater and Mark had concerns that the 40mm offset would not work on the Camaro. My understanding from the stickies and research here is that 40mm will fit just inside the wheelwell and give me room to do the CTS-V brake conversion without running spacers. What's ya'lls opinion on this offset?

18 x 9.5" +40 offset should fit fine, you might need to roll/trim the rear fender lips, but that depends on if you lowered/stock height, stock phb/adj. phb, and actual tire width.

I am at stock height right now. I am planning on Konis and Strano springs next year, but I will use either an adjustable phb or watts bar.

if theyre 9.5" and the offset is 40mm, then the backspacing should be a hair under 4.5", they should fit but may dig the sidewall when the rear dips more than a couple of inches.. maybe...

Sorry you got it wrong, a 9.5" +40 offset wheel will have about 6.8" BS .

meant 6.75... typo.. i was on my post asking about a 4.75 bs

if theyre 9.5" 0 Offset would give him 4.75 backspacing plus 1.57" is just a tick over 6.75.. that was my bad i do know my measurements tho.. i do have a post on some boss 338 rims that the site says wont fit.. but they are 9.5" wide with 4.5" bs so that would give them 38mm offset right.. anyway.. 4.5 was a goof on my part.. sue me..

I think you're forgetting that BS is measured to the outside of the wheel lip, and wheel width from inside the lip, so a 9.5" wheel is closer in actual width to 10.5".

Those rims are meant to work with the big calipers. In my research on wheels, up front a 9.5 rim with a +40mm offset sits perfectly in the wheel well. I dont know how that offset works out back but if your referring to up front its perfect and will work with CTS-V calipers without spacers.

I have the stock 16x8's and the rears appear to sit further back in the wheel wells than the fronts, so I assume that as long as the fronts are okay then the rear should be no problem.

Here is what 38mm 17x9.5 ZR1 with 275/40/17 looks like, no rubbing on the rear and slightly rubs on the front inner fender liner when turned to full lock. I am planning to fix this with a heat gun and a spoon.

Thanks for the pics. Your car looks great. I ordered my wheels from 6litereater and hope to get them in tommorow or early next week.
