Tires rub - need offset help

Tires rub - need offset help
I bought this car with the foose wheels already installed. I think the offset is not right. I like the width of the tires and wheels, so I want to know if anyone has offset measurement for fitting 18 inch , 8 inch rear / 7 inch front wide wheels on the 2nd gen. This is stock suspension front and back. I wanted to lower the front, but you can see I am already close to the fender. So if I get better offset, will I have trouble turning and rubbing? I have not turning issues at all, but large swells in the highway cause me to bottom out in the front, and smashing the gas causes the passenger side to rub, and forget about putting someone in the back seat. any help is appreciated with wheel spacing and tire sizes. Basically I want 18 inch wheels and as wide as possible.

Unfortunately the second gen Camaros were designed at the end of the narrow bias ply tire era and were not designed for modern wided rims and tires. Judging from the width and size of your rims your rears appear to be centered and your front ones could be moved in slightly.
Stiffening up your suspension will allow you to have smaller clearances for tires. Your best bet is to go to a suspension shop or a tire shop and have them measure up your car and give you recommendations. On the forum we only have the picture to guide us in our advice.
