The 50MM offset will work. You'll have to have the rearend supported when taking the wheels off and on. If it's on a lift and the rear end is hanging then you'll run into or get hung up on the bump stops. You'll also want to make sure you're rearend is square with a panhard bar if you're lowered.

^ There's a thread where someone was asking about cutting the bump stops off and they were telling the OP no cause it made the car ride like **** or something like that. IDK I've never had a reason to cut off my bump stops to know.
