Default ZR1 Wheel offset?

Hey guys a buddy of mine is looking to get a set of ZR1s for his 93 Camaro Z28. We are looking at the place that sells them and he wants the 17X9.5 all the way around, they offer 2 different offsets for these a 38mm offset and a 56mm offset, just wondering which one to get? thanks for the help

Dan

+56mm for Camaro's, the +38mm are for TA's because the fenders flare out more than the Chevy's do.

I dissaggree. in a 9.5" width EITHER of those offsets work GREAT! Depends on the look you want. 56mm is going to give you the OEM look, slightly tucked in. 38mm is going to fill the wheel well.

ALL of my FIKSEs on my Camaros are 38mm, granted if you are lowered the rear tire can make contact with the wheel well lip.

Check out my photo album on FIKSE, and you'll see.

Bringing up an old thread, is there a difference on offsets between front and rears?
