Default I've searched but can't find an answer on offset/backspace

Ive found a pair of 17x11 Zr1 wheels that are somewhat local to me.

They are the 50mm offset.

The only thing I've found is that they don't clear Z06 brakes.

I have base brakes, but I have Z06 rear quarter panels.

Anyone have experience with the same setup?
I know if you have Z06 brakes and quarters you need the 36mm offset. Thats all I can find

its been a long time, the last time i looked at offset of 1991 zr1 (17x11)wheels sleeping in my shed. im thinking they are 36mm, i think the 50mm offsets are from the c4 grand sport. you did not say what you want to use them for/on! i used the wheels i have on a 2002 z51, their are still kumho 710's 335/35/17's on them. whats your plan?

those wheels will only work well with zo6 quarters, they stuck out on my 2002, 2008 z51 cars, but i still used them. ( your looking at C4 GS 50mm, i have c4 36MM ZR1 wheels but its only 1/2 inch from one to the other) just make sure your overall front tire height is less than the rear setup you use. its ok to run 18's front and 17's rear, its all about overall height! not rim size.
