Default What offset?

What would be the ideal offset for a full set of 18x9.5 zo6 wheels on a Trans Am? I did read the "does it fit" thread but am uncertain which is the best offset as I dont want them to tuck in too much in the back but also do not want them overly-buldged out...

I have seen a couple of sets on ebay with a +56mm offset and others with a +53mm offset...which would be better? thanks in advance for your help!

As close to 50 mm. 38 mm is the best though . . . . . . and not built.

Yeah, I would have to agree, 38mm is the best.

My 17x9.5 ZR1s have a 38mm offset and they look awesome.

I'd get the the smallest offset they're available in.

+53mm is probably the smallest ZO6 offset you're gonna find. Dante Designs should have that offset available in a replica ZO6 wheel - check with your local Discount Tire. If you can find +50mm ZO6's (or smaller) anywhere, jump on 'em.
