If you have to BFH the inner fender, make sure you spray some rubberized undercoating on the spots where you hammered so no bare metal is showing.

Not to hijack, but what offset works best on Camaro's? I was told to get 56mm offset 11's.

If you want a 17x11 wheel a 50mm offset will work better.

Thanks guys, I really hope that they dont rub too bad, cause I have to drive it about 40 miles to bring it home from a buddies house as soon as these wheels get in.

Can't you just bring them home with you?

They are most likely going to rub, and 40 miles of rubbing will mess that tire up.

Thats what I would do.

Don't forget that rubberized undercoating once you get it to not rub.

When you hit the fender well with the hammer, the old undercoating comes off and exposes the bare metal, which will rust if not re-coated.

If the fronts are 17x9 or 17x9.5 they they wont rub.

There is no specific brand, I used duplicolor and its holding up fine.
