Question which 17x11 to get..the GS rim or the regular corvette zr1 17x11??

since i can't find a pair for sale i will ask for everyone's opinion.

i realize the GS zr1 style rim has a 50mm offset and a the zr1 wheel has a 36mm offset. does the 36mm offset actually stick out of the wheel well?
if so then i guess i need to pick the gs wheel.
tia!

Get the GN wheels. Friend has them and with the 315 nittos the outer edge of the tire and rim sit perfectly aligned with the fender. Looks perfect!! I also have a friend with the 36mm 17x11 and it looks like ***. Sticks out way too far.
IMO do not get the 36mm offset unless you wanna be redneck and have wheels sticking out.
Hope this helps.
