Default offset questions?

i want to get 17x11 with a 50mm offset and put 315-35-17 mt drag radials on them. I have the stock ride height. Will these wheel stick out any further from the body than my stock 17x9.5, 275-40-17 set up or will it look the same? thanks

Yes they will stick out more than stock. With that offset it may still be slightly tucked into the fender, if not flush with the fender. Do a search, you should be able to find photo's.

A 17x11 with a 50mm offset will be just about flush with fender. It won't stick out.
