Default 17x11 question

do 17x11 wheels come in any other offset other then 50mm or 38mm? the reason i ask is i recently found out that my 2 rears are different offsets and one sticks out futher than the other. im trying to purchase spacers to match them up, but im not sure what size to buy. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you certain one is 50mm and the other 38mm? I thought the 11's came 58mm, but I could be incorrect. I have a set of I believe 38mm wheels and they look fantastic up front but are tucked inside too narrow in the rear. I put a 1 inch spacer on the rears and they stuck out about a 1/4 inch further than the 50 or 58mm offset wheels I previously had, so im my case 3/4 inch spacers would have fit better. I don't recommend using spacers out back with high performance use, even the type that first bolt to your axle like mine.

Maybe somebody can chime in and educate us both

17 X 11 also came in 56 mm offset. 50 is the way to go. I've had the 50 mm offset for 3 years now.

I believe 56mm is what I had with the chrome ZR1's, not 58
