Help with correct offset 17x11 ZR1's I know its been discussed a thousand times, but im going to purchase wheels today and would like to know what is the correct offset for the 17x11 ZR1 wheels on a 2002 camaro. Also besides the BFH massage and an adjustable panard bar what has to be done with the bump stops ? and is there any other thing to know or be aware of ? Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Yeah, go with the 50mm. I've got the 38mm's on my Formula and they stick out past the fender. Camaro's need 50mm offset. I'm with tbs98z, didn't do crap to the bumpstops, just massaged inner fender wall and had to tuck and roll the lip on the fender (I'm lowered w/ Eibach pro kit).
Btw, I don't an adj panhard rod, mine is non adj.

Thanks for the info, the wheels are on, chrome ZR1's 9 1/2" and 11" (50mm) with 275's and 315'S, no massaging or bump stop removal, no problems YET. The guy at Discount said that since the car was lowered I would not have to remove the bump stops, well see. Im not sure how much its been lowered, I purchased the car used or as the dealer says pre-owned, all I know is that it has Eibach springs at all 4 corners.
