Boss 338 Wheels 18x9.5 Offset Question?!?

Hey Everyone,

Just bought my 3rd 3rd Gen and this is my first post

I have come across a good deal on the following wheels:

Boss 338

18x8 +2mm Offset
18x9.5 -4mm Offset

My question is how does this -4mm offset fit on the rear? My car has disc brakes so it has a 16mm offset on the rear.

I have seen a couple users with the staggered setup, a v6 camaro and trans am. My concern is that these cars have drum brakes and 0mm offset.

Is there anyone out there with disc brake rear running the 18x9.5 Boss 338 in the rear? And could they comment on how much they stick out? Does it hit the fender? Is your vehicle lowered?

My only other options would be Torq Thrusts which have a 0mm, that still seems close but too much.

Maybe the only correct wheel is the Summit legends with the 12mm or 18mm 9.5" wheel.

Any input would be greatly appreciated,

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I wish I could help but I have drum brakes. I do have eibach springs and there's no rubbing for me. They also don't stick out of the body.
