What size offset for 17x11 ZR1's on a Camaro

I am looking at replacing my 17x9 factory Camaro SS rear wheels with 17x11 ZR1's from OE Concepts. I was just wondering what offset to go with. The car is a 1997 Camaro SS. I have been told to go with the 50mm offset as the Camaro fender doesn't bulge as much as the T/A's do, but I want to be sure before I order them that there won't be any fitment issues (don't want to bang in the wheel house or roll the lip of the fender in). I will be putting Nitto 555r P315/35/R17 tires on and from what I have heard they are not as wide as most 315's. Any info is appreciated.

We have a wheel and tire forum, I will move this thread there for you.

Please make sure you are posting in the proper forums. :)

I have the 50mm offset on mine. No fender lip rub with 315/35-17 Dunlop SP8000 or the Nitto DRs but both rubbed on the inside going over big bumps and hard conering anytime I have anyone sitting in the backseat.

Also needed an Adj. Panhard bar to center the axle to minimize rub on both sides.
