Wheels arrive tomorrow, depending on what time they arrive I will try and get them mounted and balanced as well. So fingers crossed I'll have an answer in about... 26 hours.

Well looks like I am just barley rubbing. A 3 mm or 5 mm spacer would probably do it.

Anyone suggestions on where to get a billet wheel spacer in that size (not cast) ?

I was indeed concerned about that; 27mm offset is a bit too aggressive. FYI, my APEX wheels (19x10.5 ET22) do not rub at all (but stick out 5mm further than yours) with 305/30/19 Hankook RS-3s on them.

What is the offset of the APEX wheels?

The section width on the RS-3's are 0.1" wider than the Yokohama's so I'd be in a larger bind with those.

ET22 means they're +22mm offset

Alright cool, so that means a 5 mm spacer would put me exactly the same spacing as you.

I had those tires. I wouldn't put them on anything less than 19x11. Too much bulge. Also be careful these tires makes our Camaros change lanes like a Lotus Exige.

You say they don't rub at all which is great, how much room do you have between the upper most part of the tire and strut? I'm assuming it has got to be pretty darn close. Wondering if my 4 mm spacer I have coming is going to be enough or if that 1 mm difference is going to be what makes or breaks it..

I used the (19x10.5 ET22) wheels on both 1LE stock suspension, and Z/28 OEM, and they did not rub at all with any of them. Z/28 sits about 1" lower. I never felt the need to measure the exact gap to be honest, but it was not scary close.

The OEM shock assemblies are huge and I've heard other forum members had success even with the +27 offset 19x10.5 Nurburgring wheels with coilovers. Coilover bodies are usually much smaller than OEM.
