Default C5 deep dish wheels with spacers

Looking for a bit of advice, I've had these wheels for years 18 x10.5 all around and they fit fine, but I've had the urge lately to get the wheels more flush with the fenders?

I'm thinking 1/4 inch up front will be fine, and 1/2 inch for the rears.

Just going by the pictures alone it looks like you could do nearly an inch in the rear?

My boy and I are fixin to try an 18x10.5 C5 Z wheel on the rear of his 98 Camaro SS.

I know this was pretty common back in the day but I'm not sure how much if any spacer it is going to take?

I think that combo will work nicely. I don't know that you would want to go much more then 1.5 on the rear.

I've got 295 30s on each. Whe. I used a caliper probe I got roughly 15mm from side wall to quarter li. Front was more like 6 ish.

That's where my 1/4 and 1/2 inch numbers came from was curious if anyone else had experience with it. Whe. I searched the numbers where all over the place

I can't help with the questions but I just wanted to say your car is looking good and I really like your garage floor.

Thanks! It needs a good cleaning but I've been making a mess with ghe 2nd gen build. I'm about to finish stripping the underside it and prime it. Than the mess will be less for a while haha.

Highly recommend it if you ever consider the plastic floors. I've had them down since 2015 i think?
