17x11 Offset for pro-kit

I'm gonna order some wheels from either US Mags or True Forged wheels. I know the zr1's are +50mm, is that the best offset for 11inch wide wheels on a pro kit car?

Also depends on the tire size you run. I had 18x10.5 56mm offset I think on my car 4 years ago, had the pro-kit and was running 295/35/18 tires. Inner fender well had to be best in a little bit that was it. You might have to beat in your inner fender well and have your out fenders rolled. Hopefully someone will chime in for you with the exact answer.

I run 17x11 ZR1's with 315's in the rear in a 50mm offset, and have BMR springs. It fits fine

I'll be running gsd3's. I expect the bfh and maybe bump stop removal and adjustable panhard. But I'd rather do the least mods.

I went ahead and did the BFH mod, rolled the fenders, and the adjustable PHB to be safe
