Default What offset for 18x9.5 Zo6 wheels on a lowered trans am?

I have a 2000 ws6 with an eibach pro kit on there...I would like some opinions as to what offset I should get with these wheels?

56, 53, 50 mm?---Whats the difference?

Ebay has some 56 mm zo6 rims--wondering if those will be good. Let me know, Thanks

the higher your offset goes, the further in the well the wheel goes. So you don't want to get an offset to small or else the wheel might stick out. All those offsets are fine, personaly i would go with the smallest they offer.

I have just installed 18x10-1/2 OEM z06's on mine and they fit fine, I think the stock ofset is 52 but I could be mistaken

I had a 50mm with 17x8's and 45mm with my 20x8.5's both fit perfect
