Default c5 z06 rims offset question

I have a question regarding c5 z06 rims for my 99 camaro. I am looking into the 18x9.5 size for all four. I read in the faq that offsets between +50mm and +56mm will work fine without modifications. If I got the rims with an offset of +57mm, would that work fine without any rubbing issues?

I'm going to have bfg g-force kdw's 275/35/r18 on them too. That should also be fine so I wont have to recalibrate my odometer right?

Come on guys... is anyone running this same offset? I know 56 to 57 mm is not a big difference. 1mm is tiny. But is there a reason the faq says only 50-56mm????

57mm will cause the wheel/tire to be further inboard. You may run into a little bit of messaging with the BFG, but you should be OK.
