Imo, no more than +50mm, and no less than +38mm. Keep in mind the higher the + offset the further inward(tucked) the wheels will be .

FYI, 6.75" B.S. is right about a +38mm offset.

The stock 17 x 9 wheels have a +50mm offset. So they should be right about 7" B.S..

You must be thinking of the Corvette C4, 17 x 9.5 +56mm offset wheels which have right about 7.5" B.S..
The factory Firebird TA, and Camaro SS 17" wheel are 9" wide with a +50mm offset.

Mine are 7" BS... but I may put a half inch spacer on and run a bigger brake kit.

What brake kit can you fit?

I am going to go with the c5 conversion but I'm curious if there will be figment issues with the bigger brake calipers.

Any ideas?
