Suspension vs Wheel Size & Offset
I'm wondering if a Camaro 2.0T with 18x8.5 32mm offset wheels from the factory and a Camaro 2.0T with 20x8.5 25mm offset wheels from the factory have identical or different suspension setups?
I posted the question in the Camaro6 forum but they don't seem to be communicative there.

Not sure what you are asking. But changing wheels will not require any suspension modification.

I also don't understand why the 18" and 20" offsets are different when the width of the wheels are the same? I thought the diameter doesn't affect the offset.

7mm is just over 1/4". I can't imagine it would matter.

Are the sizes paired up with appearance packages? That may be part of it

Edit: It appears that it's to give it a more aggressive stance, but from a performance aspect, is the higher offset (if the diameters were equal) better because it brings the wheels in?

Just a guess, but...
Lower profile tires generally have a wider tread than higher profile tires. That will require more effort to steer. By moving the tires in there will be more leverage to turn the wheels.
