This is copied and pasted from the website specs. The offset of the rims are:

They are two 18" x 9.5" rims for the front (+56mm offset, 7.4" backspace) and two 18" x 10.5" for the rear (+56mm offset, 7.88" backspace). The lug pattern is 5x120.65mm.

Would I need any spacers?

How do you guys get your 285's to fit on your camaros?

I have 285X35XZR18 on Forgeline rims that are 18X9.5 all the way around, and I have no issues at all. My rim offset is 52MM, you should not go over 56MM, I believe then you will have clearence issues.
