Offset Questions So I'm ordering a custom set of Forged wheels and I'm lost on "Offsets"
I read over the sticky and if anything it only confused me more than I already was.
I'm gonna order a set of 17X9.5 and 17X11 wheels. My car has a factory length rear end and is factory height (for now), I bought the car with 11inch wide ZR1's (I'm not sure if they were GM or replicas) so it's had the BFH mod on it and I don't want to roll the fender at all!
So whats the difference? I do want to run 315's on the back (DR's) and 275's on the front.

Serious
Take half the width of the wheel you're looking at, minus 3.5. Convert the answer to mm and thats the offset you need
11" ZR1. Half is 5.5 minus 3.5 equals 2in. Converted to metric is just a hair over 50mm
