what offset. I'm looking to put new rims/tires on my 1998 trans am. First of I'd like to put eibach springs on it. From what I understand that lowers your car about 1inch. I want to run 17x9.5 rims on the front with 275/40ZR17 tires and 17x11 rims on the rear with 315/35ZR17 tires. So what offset do I need to make this work. I dont really want to mod the car like rolling the fenders or us spacers etc....
Maybe 50mm on back or do I need 36mm and 56mm on front.

You'd want the 36mm in the back or 50mm. Gives it more of the deep dish style. Standard 56 for the front. If your lowering you're probably going to have the BFH mod, which includes rolling the fenders. 36mm in the back will align the rear wheels with the fender more than the 50mm offset will. I'm not lowered so that's all I can give ya
