Front ZR1 offset
I ordered 9.5x17 OE Concepts ZR1 with the +56mm offset for the front of my T/A, but they shipped the +38mm. The +38mm are flush with the top-outside of the fender well. I like how the +38 extends out, but for some reason everyone seems to run the +56.
I plan to lower my car and I'm worried about clearing the top of the fender well. Is anyone running the +38 offset on the stock or lowered front suspension?

Xsta, I think the 38mm look better also. Your cars look lowered, and I assume you don't have any clearance issues. I have the 275 GS-D3 on the fronts, and they protrude over the edge of the rim some.
I'm just concerned that the tire will rub when I lower the car an inch and then hit a bump.

Heres a pic of where it rubs up front.
Lots more pics in the "Fikse" album accessible below.

I checked mine this afternoon, and they rub on the inner shroud as well (no problem). When turned in all the way they also catch the edge of the inner fender well. I think the tread would grab it an break the plastic. It looks like the tire would clear this if the car was lowered.

Does the Formula bumper wrap around into the wheel well like it does on the T/A? The tire definately rubs on the edge of the plastic tab on my T/A bumper. I'm pretty sure that I could move the wheel well shroud forward for clearance, but the tab would have to be cut off or pinned forward some how.

When I drove with the +38's, I never heard them rub and there was no additional rub marks. I think the forward motion applied enough force to give them clearance.
Reguardless, I decided to go with the +56's. I think that the flush fit of +38's actually made the +50 11" rears look small. If only they made a +48, I think it would look perfect.
