Default 17 X 11 torque thrust question

ok so i found a set of 17 x 11 AR TT wheels at the ws6 store. theguy who i messaged through that site says since i am stock ride height that i wont have any rubbing issues in the rear with a 17 x 11. they have a diff offset on the site than compared to the zr1 17 x 11s. so i was wondering is this true, or will i have problems?

What is the offset?

I have ZR1 17X11...my car is lowered on Eibach Sportlines and there was very minimal rubbing.

Adjustable panhard bars help a lot.

Most of the guys that have problems with rubbing are running lowering springs. I have had no problems w/ my ZR1's.

Remove Bump stop & BFH mod. See wheels & tires forums.

A lil of the Ol' BFH mod went a long way w/ the pro-kit springs. No issues what so ever at stock height though.

I didn't have to remove or modify the bumpstops on either cars (02 TA and 94 Z) when I put the TTIIs on them.
