    Offset changes with the change in width of wheel. Camaro rears are 20x9 +35, ZL1 are 20x11 +39. Backspacing is different as well due to the wider wheel.

    The ones sold by Phasetek in this style are:

    20x9: +27 offset.
    20x10: +23 or +35 offset.

    They also make a 20x11 +43 offset.

    Silverbull1t: they look GREAT.

    You're right, I mixed it up with the front wheel (which is on a +35et offset).

    Where do you get this info these aren't factory zl1 wheels. They are 20x10 with camaro ss offset +40 . That's self explanatory just look at the wheel. Why do you think when ppl get there camaro as wheels widened the offset stays the same

    Offset is measured from center line not "backspacing"
    If you take a wheel and widen it. You must add the added width to the offset.
    Ex: start with 19x10 +40 and widen it 25mm or an inch* you get 19x11+65.
    *I know 25mm don't equal and inch. Its OK to round the .0157"

    Saying that they aren't factory is good, but without knowing the true specs of the wheel we can't tell you if they'll work well or not. A 20x10 +40 will rub the fender unless you roll, and possibly pull the fender a little as well.

    Offset does NOT stay the same (as mentioned below) when you widen the wheel. The offset changes with the added width as you're changing the centerline of the wheel (which is where offset measurement comes from: it's the distance of the mounting pad to the center of the wheel.)

    Why would he need to know if they work or not?
    He put them on his car. Unless I'm missing something.
