you can buy the rims in the correct offset from most rim distributors

im woundering the same question, as i may get a set of 18/10.5 rear wheels but dont know their ofset.
i believe they might be 58mm. Ive searched and most say a 1/4 spacer will do it, and bigger and a longer stude is needed.

Fronts do. Rears will need about a 1/2" spacer, since I beleive they are 65 mm offset.

I have 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 ZO6's on my car with 53mm offsets front and back and had to do no BFH'ing at all. I am running 295/35/18 KDW 2's out back and they fit fine. I bought the wheels with the intention of putting them on a Vette so the offsets are factory corvette I believe. This is from the website I bought them from.... "Wheels have correct offsets for 1997-2004 C5 or Z06 Corvettes and wheels accept tire pressure sensors like factory".
I have pics of the 53mm offsets if anybody needs to see them.

are we talking about c5 z06 wheels?????????

with bfh they fit with a 295/35 and without, a 1/4 in spacer.. however i did bfh and still use a 1/4 spacer so it looks lines up better with the fender.

the max offset camaro's can fit I believe is 56, so 53 will be fine... Anything bigger than 56 you should probably get a spacer for. I'm putting 19's on the back of mine, anyone know if a 1/2in spacer is the right size?
