Winter tire and wheel package
 
Im looking to put winter tires on our new 2ss. Looking for a square setup.
Tire Rack has a lot of variety.
What about the offset? I know the stock staggered wheels have a different offset front and rear.
If Im looking on Tire Rack for a square set up in 18x8 or 8.5 I find all different offsets. Research shows offsets from 28 to 40.
Im looking at a 18x8 wheel with a 32mm offset for all 4 corners with 245/50/18 snows.
Its mostly just functional but I dont want the wheels to look bad in the wheel wells.
The wheels Im looking at also have a required centering ring.
Is that an issue?

On my two different 18x8 snow setups I've ran both a 38mm and 15mm offset, and both fit fine. Although the 38mm would probably not work on the stock 2ss brakes without a spacer

18x8.5 et32 is the stock base wheels size for a 6th-gen Camaro, and 245/50/18 is the stock tire fitment for them. So the fitment you're looking at will look basically like stock base LT. That will fit fine. You can go with less offset if you want to push the tires out toward the edges a little more. But my thinking is that for winter/snow tires you're going to be pushing through snow/slush and probably want to keep as much of the "rooster tails" from being slung onto the paint as possible - so keep them in the fenders.

I bought these (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07GW...b_b_asin_title) with +20 and they fit great! After looking and looking I figured I was over thinking it. These were cheap and look better then steel wheels.
