I finally narrowed down the wheels I want for the Camaro. Here are the specs
18x8 with 4.540 BS
18X9.5 with 5.290 BS
Bore is 72.591
Any reason a square setup with 275/35-18 would not work on my Camaro. I assume it will be about flush.
CARID says the 18x9.5 will not work on the back, I think it should be fine.
They say the 18x8 is fine on all four corners. Im on the fence. Plus I want to be sure on the tire size.
245/40-18 would be correct if I ran the 18x8's?
Thanks for some input. Oh yeah here are the wheels.

For Illustration purposes this is or was ChevyKens car with TT2 17x9.5 wheels with 5.5 bs, C5 brake upgrade with a 5mm spacer and 275/40 tires. The backspacing with the spacer and big brake kit would come out to about 5 inches. The 18x9.5s that you want with a big brake kit would stick out a tad farther than that.

Thanks. Any more that that would just be too much.
I think I will stick with the 18x8 in front.
Here are pics of some US Mag Ramblers / 18x8 in front and 18x9.5 in back on a third gen. These wheels have the same backspacing as the wheels I want.
They are both memebers here. Hope they dont mind me using their pics.
