Need Some help from you wheel fitment guru's on here

Like the thread title said I'm in need so some advice on finding the perfect aftermarket wheel and or wheel offset for my 86 Z28 and was hoping someone will point me in the right direction. I'm running the big brake upgrade kit on the front of the car which has the 2010 Camaro Brembo with the 14" rotor and on the rear I'm running the 4th gen camaro rearend with the stock brakes for now but I will also be upgrading to the 2010 brakes in the rear as well. I don't really have a lot of tools at home to take measurements to find out exactly what the sizes are I was hoping someone has already done this similar setup and can give me a general offset/backspacing size using these bigger brakes and also if I need to run spacers on the front and rear or not. I want to try and fit the widest wheel possible on the front and rear for a 18" rim.

With the big front brakes and the 4th gen rear your choices are very few. Either need to spend big money on a custom set or go with the norm 1.75" spacer in the front and get a set of 18x9.5 vette wheels

No spacer in the rear 275/40/18 is what most would run on that size.
