Because you want to use 245 all around, you probably want to use a 8.5 inch wheel. 9 inch is also an option, but there are far more wheels that are 8.5 inches wide.

At 8.5 inches wide and a square setup, you'll probably want to go with a 35mm offset all around. A 35mm setup all around will give you more brake clearance than stock and reduce how far your tires stick out (aka reduce poke).

A cheap option is below ($150 each):

Don't forget that our cars have TPMS, and it costs $320 installed from tirerack (ouch). That's more for people who read this and want to buy a full wheelset from them. You can source your own TPMS sensors (433mHz!) and have your local installer put them in.

For those of you who want to run a square 9.5" setup and go with an offset of 30mm, these are a cheap option ($195 each):

You would just order 4 of the rear fitment and put on a 275/40/19 setup.

Disclaimer: I don't guarantee that any of these wheels will clear our front brakes. I'm merely running calculations based on wheel offsets. Even if wheel offsets say a wheel should fit, there is always the possibility that it will not.
Thanks Nate! Very helpful

Is this offset for all Camaros?

I have a 2016 LT with the RS package. My tires are 245/40R20 and I'm looking for a second set of OEM 18" rims to mount winter tires on (figured Run Flat winters would be cheaper for 18" rims than 20" rims).

Finding information on the OE rims and offset is difficult.
