they have custom off set being a forged wheel... if you visit their website it gives the available offsets. use the offset calculator on 1010tires.com

use 9" wide wheel with a 56mm offset as stock wheel
then plug in 10" wide with maybe a 45 or 40mm offset for the front
11" wide use a 50 maybe 48 or something like that and just see what is says

some common maximums for camaros are 17x7 with a 0mm offset in the front and 17x11 with a 50mm offset in the back (just tuck in behind the fenders)

hope this helps

17x7 is small as hell for the front IMO. 17x9 is the lowest I'd go with. The 18x10 and 18x11 on Peel's TA are badass.

I said MAXIMUM 7" wide with 0 offset. I'm not saying to run them just a MAXIMUM.
