17x9.5 wheels +54mm offset - will they fit?

[Scarano]

Will these wheels fit properly with 275/40-17 tires on a 97 Firebird V6?

i am pretty sure you will have no problem, mine are 9.5 wide and a +56mm offset. no problems.

Thanks Tom. What is the general rule with offset, does it mean the higher the offset, the farther out the wheels are from the wheel well?

The bigger the offset (in the positive direction) the farther IN the wheel will be - a lower numbered offset will stick out further.
