Default oem c6 rim fitment, spacers?

i have a 2000 trans am, and I'm interested in buying a set of oem C6 wheels. the sizes are 18x8.5 up front and 19x10 out back. Do you need spacers in order to have the wheels fit properly in the wheel well? im not sure on the offsets of the rims. also what would be a good tire size to run without dealing with rubbing or banging the inner fender 275/40/18 and 295/35/19?
I may also decide to drop the car about an inch or so later on.

any help is welcome.

The front wheels will be fine. The rears will be ok if the offset is about between +48mm and +58mm. I just ordered a set of C6s. 18x9.5 for the front with a +56mm offset and a 18x10.5 for the rear with a +58mm offset. The company that I ordered them from assured me that they will fit perfectly. And I doubt your gonna fit a 275 tire on an 8.5" rim. Go with a 245-40 or 255-40. A 295-30 out back will be perfect.
