Which is better? Hi, trying to decide what to put on my '01 Camaro SS. I want to use the SS Center Caps which I'll buy accordingly, so please feel free to let me know what you think.
What is better?
5 or 10 spoke 17x9.5 with 56mm or 38mm?
OR
5 spoke 17x11 with 50mm?

50mm is OEM for the Camaro 17" x 9" five or ten spoke.
50mm 17" x 11" five spoke will fit a Camaro, but you may have to massage the inner wheel wells, and re-undercoat.
56mm 17" x 9" / 9.5" will fit but will move deeper "into" the wheel well.
38mm 17" x 9" / 9.5" will fit, move the hwwel/tire flush with the outer wheel well lip. May have minor rubbing at the front at full turns, and in the rear on a lowered car, the rear passenger tire may contact the wheel well lip.
My FIKSE's have a 37 and 38 mm offsets.
