1998 Camaro, 18x9.5 + 19x11 Fitment Questions
Hi Guys, yes, I'm a newbie, recently decided to leave the European cars, and go back to all American muscle, so I picked up a 1998 Z28 with 30k miles. I have previously owned a 2000 C5, a WS-6, and a 1997 SS Camaro back in the days.
Needless to say - I'm happy to be back with the F-bodies.
I've been searching high and low for the right wheel package for this car, and it's been challenging - I hope that you guys can help me.
What I would like to do is get some C6 Z06 Motorsport style wheels for my car.

I've spent the last several nights losing sleep tearing through these threads on this board, and have learned quite a bit, but still couldn't find what I was looking. I know that OE Wheels, LLC is a sponsor, and don't carry what I'm looking for - so the bottom line is, I'm hoping you guys can help.
I would like to go with the following:
Rear: 19x11 +65
Front: 18x9.5 +40 (or should I go +57)
For my tire option - I'd like to do a 295/35 rear and 275/40 front.
What do you guys think? Would I need a BFH mod? Would I need extended wheel studs and spacers? I've done a lot of reading, and just couldn't find the answers. Any help you guys can give would be so greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I would look at OEWheelsLLC.com. They are hard to beat on prices when it involves Corvette replica's. They may not have the sizes your wanting but they still look good for them to be cheaper.

02 camaro 19*12 Took a 56mm offset and alot of bfh. Also removed bumpstops. Make sure offset is perfect. Mine would not have worked out +-5. Got lucky I guess. Running 325-30/19

Excellent. Well, thanks for the good info guys. I imagine some bfh, and some prayers will hopefully make them fit ok. I appreciate the feedback. Thanks again.
