Regarding the 50mm, offset, that is for both front and rear?

In addition, when goig for a wider rear wheel....what offset would be best to keep, say, an 11 inch wheel tucked in as seen on Mctullis' car? Keep it at a 50mm offset? Going to a lesser offset, does that move the wheels IN or OUT on the hub.

Thanks for the information.

For example the ZR-1 Replica wheels in 17" x 9.5" and 17" x 11" sizes BOTH have 50 mm offset. And fit the SS very well.

One last question.......what would the best tire size be for 11 inch rear wheels. By best I mean the sidewall is even with the rim, not slanting inward or outward. I know that 275 is with the 9.5 inch wheels, so would 295 0r 305 be appropriate on the 11 inch wheel?
