American Racing website says that the offest is 45.72 mm, does that sound right, because I don't want it to stick out because it looks like complete ****.

That'll be fine. Many have done it. May have an issue with the tire contacting the wheel well lip though, especially if you are lowered.

Just FYI I am runnina 10.5" wide wheel with a 38 mm offset on the back of my SS.

On the inner wheel well yes, on the fender lip you may want to consider having them rolled.

I just ordered these rims for mine (45mm offset) and my car is lowered (Eibach Pro Kit). Anyone have a link that will show me how to roll the fender lip if I need to or is that something a body shop should do?
