Default Factory Reproduction wheels and Sizes

I'm still trying to figure out how to convert backspacing to offset.

I'm currently looking at some of these wheels to be the rollers on my car before I can purchase more expensive forged wheels. I just need some cheaper wheels for now so I can get the Wilwood bigger brake kit ordered and installed.

http://www.factoryreproductions.com/nav-vette.html

Thats the site.

I just need to know what offset and sizes will work?

I have a 67 camaro. I know I need to get a 18x8 4.75bs in the front and around a 18x9 5''bs or a 18x10 5.5bs in the rear.

Would the 18x8.5 +56 offset work in the front?

And what about the 18x9.5? 56+ offset or something else.

Any wheel/gurus feel free to help me out here. I still haven't moved on my build since Nov. because I'm still trying to plan it out.
