Default Sizing for 19inch CCW's

Hey guys,
I'm planning to buy a set of CCW sp500's for my lt1 camaro. Looking at 19x8.5 with 245/35 for the fronts and 19x10.5 or 11 with 305/30 Continental extremecontact sports for the rear. I'm also doing the cts-v2 front brakes. So what offsets do I need? The rears should be pretty straight forward, but the fronts with the bigger brakes is what I'm not sure of. Oh, also lowered with strano springs. BFH and fender rolling expected.

You need a minimum backspacing of 7.75" both front and rear. Fronts will look better with less backspacing. To insure wheel clearance over front calipers, buy wheels with an inch less backspacing than what you would consider ideal, and add a 1" hubcentric spacer.

Yeah, I had considered that too, seems to be my best option. Thanks

CCW will make you wheels with custom offset where you won't need to run spacers. I'm running 19x8.5 wheels up front with 40 mm offset 245/35/19 tires and they fit perfect!
