Fronts your choices are 38 mm, 50 mm and 56 mm. . . .

What car do you have?? Camaro or Firebird?

My personal preference:

Camaro : 38 mm 9.5" front and 50 mm 11" rear . . .

Firebird : 38 mm 9.5" front and 36 mm 11" rear . . .

Firebird quarter panels flare out wider than a Camaro.

A 36 mm offset 11" wheel & tire sticks out of the wheel well, that is why most people with 11" ZR1's run the 50 mm offset.
