Default How wide can I go?

It's a 1994 Camaro. I'd like to go with the widest setup wheels/tires WITHOUT using spacers, could you give me the rim sizes and tire sizes I will need for that goal?
I was thinkng to buy a set of 18x8.5 with a +56mm offset & 19x10 with a +79 or +57 mm offsets. The lug/bolt pattern is 5x4.75 (120.65mm). 28 lbs per 18" & 32 lbs per 19" wheel.
Do I need spacers for them? I know the answer might be on this site somewhere but I just want to save time using your knowledge and experience. Thank you guys for all your help, and again, my goal is the widest without spacers (Just because I heard they're not safe).

i know for a fact that the widest sized tire you will be able to fit under there without rubbing is a 285, you can always cut out most if not all of that little bumpstop in the rear and easily get 315's...as for wheels and offsets...im lost there

Look over what he said. He said 285s before rubbing issues. I have 295s on the car and i had to remove the jouncer along with cutting off a smiggen of the inner wheel well (not a big deal just reundercoat it and your set).

Hey dude, plenty of guys running the 11" wide ZR1 wheels. I am not sure of the offsets but I know the 10" wide Draglite/Prostar needs a 7.5" backspace for the best fitment.

i have the same rim sizes...with 295/30/19's in the back...no rubbing issues. Are you lowered?

I know i shouldn't be mentioning this here in this thread, but I'm also considering sell my wheels/tires...same size as your interested in.
