It'll be negligible but less wheel = less unsprung weight, and the tire will have less "stretch" if any and more "squish" on the tire. What backspace would be ideal? Ridetech recommends 18x10 with 5.75" offset so with a 18x9.5 a 5.5"?

The wheel weight difference between a 9.5" and a 10.0" wide wheel is minimal. The Rival, Michelin Pilot Sport, Toyo R888 and Bridgestone's run wide and fit best on a 10.0" wide wheel. Check out the tire specifications chart and match the tread width to the wheel width for optimum tire performance.
Stielow's last two Camaro's ran a 10.0X18 front with a 275/35-18 tire and both cars won Optima.
I'm not savvy on Ride Tech's recommend wheel fitments. I've contact them several times and asked, but they stated they do not want to be responsible for wheel/tire fitments that may or may not fit.
Anyone familiar with the RideTech's suspension set up's and wheel/tire fitments?
