C6 wheels on 4th Generation Camaro I just did mine, I dropped a plumbob off my fender/qtrs took measure and ran a 2" HUBCENTRIC spacer set-up in the rears and 1.25" HUBCENTRIC up front. Reason? flush to fenders with Eibach drop springs. I ran 295/30/19 REAR and 265/40/18 fronts!
No traction or ABS light or malfunction. If you do the math the rolling diameters are real close. Not enough for the computer to notice.
Convert 2002 Camaro Z28 looks sick.
Lotsa compliments.
Do it.

With the spacer dimension used(2.0"), you must roll the lips under.
You must!
I am also running a 295/30/19 rear tire. There is plenty of room for more tire going the other way, (under the car).
However, you have to remove spacer to get it tucked under the fenders right. You can run up to a 315... possibly more. I in retrospect should have run a 1.25 spacer and a 315 tire and it would have given more width. I have played with a 1.25" and 2.0" and find the 1.25 looks as good with no rub concerns. Keep in mind your on an 11" rim and when measuring the tires to fit, your centering the 295, 315, 345 on the rim and you will bulge out the tire. My concern was keep in the tires flat (sidewall) and not getting the bulge. If you arent concerned then go for it, it doesnt do dmage, but it does look shitty. If you were running a 12" Z wheel then it would look good. Traction changes when you tighten the sidewalls, so stretching under rim width will hurt you, and over will have similiar affect. (roll/slip).
As of now, I have no issues other than a lil rub on steep drive(fender lips), but with a longer bumpstop and Bilstein rears, it is a thing of the past.
Lastly, I wanted to say that I find no reason to beat or hammer the internal wheel wells. I have a vert and no prob with rub inside fenders at all. 1" clearance easy. The front tires rub on the ouboard inner fender but its not bad and its full lock to lock, so who cares.
Unless Im doing autocross no worries.
I would if doing all this again, go 19's all four corners and run 1.5 rear spacer with 1.25 front. possibly a 1.75" rear if they would make them.. as of now they dont. (that I know of..) Make sure your tire diameters are the same, there are plenty of places online that will lead you to that diameter. You will have issues if you throw the diameter off too much. 295/30/19 rear, and 265/40/18 fronts=NO ISSUE. Use this to determine

All spacers are HUBCENTRIC.
Play no games, you can DIE if you buy cheap ****.
Good Luck.

ive got c6 zo6 replica wheels, 18 and 19 rear. got the spacer in the rear, and it sits really flush with the fender, but the front always seems to sit in too far.
you guys are saying 1.25 is the way to go there?? def dont want it out past the fender.
did you get a lot of rubbing with that set up in the front (already rolled the fender in the rear)?

If you want to get you're 18's sitting a little further out, then a small spacer might be what you're looking, but a 1.25" spacer is probably WAAY too big.
