Nice looking Camaro!

What size tires are you running in the rear? How much clearancing was required in the wheel well? Do you know what the offset in the rear is?

I am running a 295 tire in the back. I did the BFH for some OEM C5 Z06s I had gotten and just a little massaging had them fit in. With these C6 Z06s they were able to fit right in. Its just the tiniest bit snug since I am running +54mm offset but there has been no rubbing and and there is a good inch to an inch and a half gap between the wheel well and the tire. I have been thinking of stepping up to a 305 or 315 tire so if I do that I will have to maybe run some spacers. I would rather not have to though.

How about the way the tire/rim lines up with the body? Does it "tuck" at all or is it flush? I like the aggressive look of them being flush, but def dont like it when they stick out. I'm thinking a 48mm offset or so would be perfect

They tuck up under pretty well ... They stick out just a little bit but not too bad where you have to worry about rolling fenders or anything. I actually like the little protrusion but not the extreme like you were talking about. Here is a picture right down the side of the car from the back so you can kinda see what I am talking about.
