Default Offset help!!!! NEED ADVICE ASAP!!!!

i want to but c6 rims 18x9.5 with an offset of 58 for my 2001 camaro v6 will it work up front? i currently have 20x8.5 forte rims with a offset of 15 and they rub and make really loud grinding noises when turning and going straight simetimes. and my mom and her bf who is pretty much a mechanic thinks theyll rub since my 8.5 wide rims r already rubbbing. on my current rims i have 255/35/zr20 what size tire would i need for the c6 if they fit?
thanx for an advice!!!!

Your current wheels/tires rub because the offset is way too low (I bet they stick out) and the entire combination is a good 2" too tall

The C6 wheels will fit fine - 275/35 would be a good size to run
