Lowest offset What is the lowest offset that you can put on a camaro with z06 wheels? I checked the sticky and it said 50 but i didnt know if because anything lower wont fit or they dont make it. I want to try and get as big of a lip as possible for the rears.

40 - 45 mm, but that is also dependant on the wheel width. My Berger SS has the ProKit on it. The wheels are 17" x 9.5" with 38mm offset. Front, the only thing that rubs is at full turn the front tire ever so slightly rubbs the little black wheel well liner. The rear, the passenger side tire contacts the wheel well lip.

Thanks for that info, I've seen those pics and the stance on your car is sweet. I wasn't sure if it was lowered or not though. The passenger rear is hitting your fender lip? Is it damaging it at all? There's no damage visible in the pics.

The Red SS is lowered with SLP Eibach springs. An Average of a 1" drop.
The Berger SS is lowered with the Eibach Prokit, at leat 1.5" drop.
The FIKSE's on the Red SS are 18" x 9.5" front and 18" x 10.5" rear. BOTH wheels have a 38 mm offset. Tires are 275/35ZR18 front and 295/35ZR18 rear.
The FIKSE's on the Berger are 17" x 9.5" all around, with a 38 mm offset and 275/40ZR17 tires.
On both cars I have the minor rubbing at full turn on the black plastic wheel well liner and the rear passenger side tires clip the wheel well lip. No body damage, just some annoying cuts in the corner tread of the tire.
In my album about the FIKSE's on the red car, picture 16 shows the scratches/cuts in the tread blocks, and picture 20 shows, the rubbing on the wheel well liner (orange outline)
I am going to try to adjust the panhard a bit to see if I can minimise or eliminate the rear tire damage.
With the right offset yes,
