Default C7 rims on Fbody

Looking to see this set of rims below on an 4th gen Fbody. Don’t mind if they are silver, black, polished or chrome. Bonus points if it is on a SOM Camaro.

It’s a 19/18 combo I am looking at, not sure how they would look on a Camaro though. I believe these are C7 stingray rims

Are there fitment issues on the F-bodies with OEM c7 rims?

I have tried searching but c7 is too short and is taken out of the search skewing my results

Ok, from what I can find out the base model C7 rims like the one pictured above is the following size:

Rear Wheel - 19x10 79mm offset
Front Wheel - 18x8.5 56mm offset

I have read that for rear rims with that offset to work I would need to run a 1.25" spacer - is that true? If that is true, does anyone have a recommendation on what spacer to get that would be strong and not cheap chinese crap that will break? Also, what size bore/hub would I need to get?

Am I correct in assuming that the front will not need a spacer to work? Did anyone that runs this type of offset wheel need to eliminate the rear bump stops?

I would like to verify this information and verify I will not run into issues before I drop $2k on a set of OEM wheels/tires.

Thanks

IMO there's much better options out there. Love Vette's and an ex owner but this is one of the more undesirable wheels.

My son has 2 full sets of C7 wheels for his car. One set is 17x9.5 and the other is 18x10.5. Smaller set is for street driving with DRs and the other is his Autox / Roadrace set with 315s. I would post a few pics but I'm on my work computer.
