For the factory 3rd gen IROC-Z Camaro 16 x 8 inch wheels the offset is 0mm up front and the rear wheels have 1/2" more back spacing so the rear 16 x 8's have right about +13mm offset.

0 mm offset = about 4.5" BS
+13mm offset = about 5" BS

I'd would just go with a 0mm offset/4.5" BS, F & R with the 16 x 8's .

So exactly what size wheels are you wanting to run, factor size..?

Well I was told the iroc wheels are 4" back spacing. Thanks for replying and providing all that info btw... I have a 4th gen f body, ls1 firebird. A guy is helping me build a ford 9" to fit my car. I have one set of weld wheels 4 backspacing. I need another set of 4" backspacing wheels for the street also. That 9" is cut to fit 4" backspacing wheels.

American Racing (AR) does make a TT2 in a 16 x 8 and 17 x 8, both a available with a 4" BS(-12mm offset) on a 5 x 4.75" (5 x 120.6mm) bolt pattern.

15x8 weld prostars with 4"bs, not sure the off set right now. Track tires are 28 10.50s.. Thanks for the links Im not a huge torque thrust fan personally. To be honest I'm just looking for something cheap I can throw on there to drive to the track

The TT2's were actually the cheapest new aluminum 16" x 8", 4" BS wheels I found with the correct bolt pattern. I'm not the biggest fan of them either.
