Arrow Offset Question!

I probably should have asked this question before I put my order in 30 min ago but might as well ask it anyway since they are being custom built and can probably still make changes, anyway...

I have 57mm offset on my wheels and I hate the way they tuck up. I've read on here that 40mm usually sits flush with the fenders on a Camaro. So I ordered wheel and hub centric wheel adapters 3/4" thick (19mm). 19mm wheel adapters would put me at a 38mm offset correct?

On a 4th Gen Camaro will the wheels stick out a bit or will they more or less still be flush with the fenders? Should I have gone with a 17mm spacer instead? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Btw I've read the sticky that says 18x9.5 wheels will fit on a Camaro with Offsets of 38 to 56mm. I'm just making sure with my wheels that offset of 38mm won't stick out.

Cool, thanks for the link. That's exactly what I'm looking for, a flush look with the fender.
