Default Fikse FM5 - Offset ?

I'll be placing my order on Monday, the place I'm ordering from wanted to know what offset I needed.

Since I have no clue, I need some feedback - I'll be running 17x9.5's on all 4 corners. Also how long did it actually take to receive them once the order is placed, I was told 4-5 weeks - does this sound right ?

Thanks in advance

If I recall correctly they are 38 mm. And about 3 tp 4 weeks delivery.

I dealt direct with FIKSE, and had my wheels exactly when promised.

Strange,

This is a response I received from them when I inquired. What do you guys think ???

Thank you for your inquiry.

The offset to use with a 17x9.5 wheel on your Camaro is 40mm
- 49mm. Since you are considering one of the wider tires recommended
for the car, use a wheel with a higher offset in this range,
45mm - 49mm both front and rear.

When I ordered mine I asked fo for the fitment for an f-body. The 17x9.5 fronts were 38mm and 17x11 rears were 43mm.

Cool - thanks for the info guys.

I plan on ordering through Thunder, I'm staying away from the ppl I was originally talking too. Anyways just got off the phone with Paul and he pretty much confirmed the offset you guys gave me.
