Been looking for wheels and the ones that I picked out come in a 20mm and 38mm offset. Which is better for an f body?

Basically it's the distance from the wheel centerline to the mounting surface.



I'm running 18x9's with a +38mm offset with no issues. I believe my stock SS wheels were +50mm if I recall correctly.

I the width of the wheel is between 9" to 9.5" front and 9" up to 10.5" rear a 38 mm offset will work fine . .
