I am frustrated - which offsets - please help.

I have a 98 Formula. What are the stock offsets of the WS6 rims or even the stock Firebird rims? I am worried about filling the rear wheel well.

Looking at Black Z06 or ROH ZS 17x9 or 17x9.5 rims with 275/40/17.

Would a 35mm offset be too much?

Would a 49mm offset work?

Would a 54mm offset work?

I need rims/tires in a bad way and must decide quickly.

Thanks in advance.

You want to keep it less than 50mm. The lower the number, the more it will stick out. Hope that helps.

50 is the max offset to rum, and is OEM.

37/38 mm is pushing the minimun offset to run.

Anything in between typically works.
