I need help with what spacers I need to fit my 4th gen wheels

I just purchased a set of ar rebels front-18x8 ,rear-18x10 of ar rebels with 295s on rear I have done research and I have come to the conclusion that I need 2 in spacers all the way around the car. But I have also read that some people have used less than 2in in the rear like 1.75 spacer. Does anyone have a opinion or input to help me out the backspace is 7 1/8 and offset is 41mm. I want a second opinion before ordering all 2in spacers

Depends on how much hammering you want to do. A 18x10.5 will fit the rear with. 295 using about 6.5 of backspacing and some mild hammering. More spacer will cut down on the hammering but will set the wheel further out and almost outside the wheel well.

On the fron shoot for a final backspace of about 4.5 to fit the 8" wheels

Well this wheels are 7 1/8 backspace and a 40 something mm offset. They came off a 02 camaro. I wondering if I need 2in spacers on front and rear or only front and like 1.75in spacer on rear.
