I have a 10" wheel with +35mm offset in the rear of my 02 Trans Am and i've got about a half inch on either side before i'd consider them "flush". A 10.5" wheel with +35mm offset should be exactly flush with the outside face of the fender, at least on a Trans Am, Idk about a Camaro. I'm lowered on Strano's in the rear of my car without the hose mod, I think if I had 10.5" wheels with the same offset i'd be having some serious rubbing issues that i'm not sure rolled fender lips would help. I've seen horrible things happen with very expensive "quality" spacers on the track and on the street so I will never endorse or encourage anyone running a spacer.

Im running 10.5 inch wheels that are +56 offest with a 20 mm spacer so they are essentially a +36 offest. They are flush with the fender however i am probably gonna get some 15mm spacers to have them come in just a lil

My rear end is shortened 3/4" which is a difference of about 19mm on each side, so 10.5" with a 56+ offset for me with no spacer would probably sit flush and it would push it in about 5-6mm over my current 15x8 with 5.25 BS leaving me with about 70mm less inner clearance than what I have now. I wonder if I would be OK with 18x10.5's with my shortened rear and be able to fit 315/35/18's with rolling fenders and BFG mod.

Does anyone make C5 Deep Dish wheels in 18x9.5 with a 38mm offset?
