Hi,Summit Racing said they can order these wheels for me, so will the 18x9.5 with the 6.5 backspacing work on my 2001 Camaro Z28 in the rear with a 275-35-18 tire with no problems?THANKS

A 9.5" wide wheel with a 6.5" backspace corresponds to a 32mm offset. That is going to put the outside edge of the wheel/tire just barely under the edge of the rear fender, and probably outside the front fender. For a 9.5" wide wheel, you want an offset in the range of 45 - 56mm (7.0" - 7.5").

Yes. I have run 17 x 9.5" 49mm offset, and 17 x 9.5" 56mm offset with no problems at all. Tire size was 275/40-17.

The front wheel (only) in this pic is the 17 x 9.5 56mm wheel:

All 4 wheels in this pic are 17 x 9.5 49mm:

The 17 x 11.0's work best with 50mm offset. If you run Torque Thrusts, their 45mm offset will work in the back as well, just moves the wheel/tire 1/4" toward the outside edge of the fender. There's a writeup in the FAQ that covers wheel width vs. offset.
