Default 2 offsets.. best choice?

someone told me that 17x11 rear with a +36mm offset is better with stock suspension and ride height and +50mm is ideal for lowered fbodies.. is this true? B/C i didnt think +36 would fit in the rear. the wheels are ZR1's FWIW and i have stock suspension

Yes! If I were to get a ZR1 17x11 w/315-35, I would get the +36mm offset. It's actually flush w/ the fender well lip.

+50 seems to be the way to go no matter what height youre at. 36 WILL stick out. the 50mm already sticks out too far from pictures ive seen. IMO.

50 mm . . . the 36 mm fits a Firebird . . sticks out of the wheel well on a Camaro . . .
