Default What offset to be flush on Camaro?

I have OEM C5 Z06 wheels on my car and I believe the rears are +58mm offset. The thing is they don't come anywhere NEAR flush with the rear fenders. What offset do you need to run to make them flush? My fenders are rolled. I'm just trying to get an idea of what size wheel adapter to run.

They are probably inset about that far so that should work. Do you have pics of yours?

i thought about having my DD C5's widened to 11's in the rear and get a spacer/adapter to have them sit out a lil in the rear and may try the same for the fronts but leave em the same width and id like to see pics of the Y2K's also to get an idea

Run a 20 mm spacer, which will net you a new offset of 38 mm . . . which on a 10.5" wide wheel out back is perfect!

C5 thin spoke? . . . "should" have an OEM 63 mm offset, you can run up to a 25 mm or 1" spacer/adapter and still fit.
