Default 17x11 best offset, pics wanted

Ok I'm looking to get some 17x11's for the rear only. What would be the best offset to keep the rim tucked in with out any rubbing issues(stock ride height). If you have any pictures of the tires from the rear and front(rear tires I'm concerned about) please post some pics. Thanks

50 mm offset. I've had those out back since 2003. But you will need to do the BFH deal. The wheels look tucked in.

Yup... 50mm offset.

here's a few pics....they're kinda big





Had to do some pounding, but that's due to my Yokohama tires being very wide for their size. Nittos on the other hand are small for their size so you can get away without having to pound anything.

1 vote for the 35mm offset. After I curbed one of my 50mm, I went 35mm and they look about 20% wider IMHO. I had to fold the fender lip in on my Formula though.
