If I had to choose from those three, my preferred would be #1, then #3.

285 is the biggest you can go on a 9.5" rim.

Not without hammering the fenderwells and possibly rolling the fender lip.

are the vette wheels different. i have 11in 17s with 315s on the back. did do the hammer mod and roll the fenders. i think in 18s 285 is as wide as you can go.

The Vette wheels have a really high offset. If the offset was below 53mm, they would probably fit without having to do that, but most vette wheels are 56-58mm offset

OK 1.25" spacer? How do you plan on actually attaching the wheel to the car? You wont have any studs left to thread a lug nut on. When a buddy of mine put actual Corvette wheels on his car we needed a 1/4" spacer and they were 18x9.5 with the offset for the Corvette not the proper offset for the Camaro. I bought the 17 x 9.5 offset for the Camaro for 2 reasons. 1st they will fit front or rear with out rubbing and second the rubber is a whole lot cheaper for the same tire in the 17" variety.

I cant see the wheels you want here at work my proxy blocks the site. If you get the wheels with the proper offset then no spacers should be needed. I did on both my V6 and Z28 have to bend a pinch weld in the inner wheel well a little for safety and a little more clearance.

Ok now that I can see the wheels I vote for #3. I'm kinda biased tho as that is the same style I have only mine are machined.
