Question About C6 17x9.5s.. 54mm offset
So today I bought from OE Wheels (4) 17x9.5 C6 wheels that have a 54mm offset...
I had TTMs before I bought these wheels, I cannot remember the offset but I know they were a lot smaller than the C6 wheels. I was able to run 275/40s up front and 315/35s in the rear..
Here are my questions regarding the new C6 wheels. With these wheels that have that big off an offset, what is the largest tire that I am able to run both front and rear? 275/40 or can I go larger? Like a 285/40? If I get the 285s, will they rub up front? BTW I always run Nitto NT555 Extremes (Non DRs)
Thanks

Another way to put it if a wheel had a 0mm offset the face of the wheel would be right in the middle of the rim. As you add offset the face moves outward and the rim moves inward. Hope this isn't to confusing.

Zero offset is when the hub is at the center of the rim. If you add positive offset; the wheel will tuck in. If you add negative offset; the wheel will push out (this will also give you a bigger lip). The offset number will be relative to the hub mounting surface and the body of the car. Hope that makes a little more sense.
