Default Offset question

I'm running 315/35/17 BFG drag radials on a 17x11 ZR-1 rim 56 mm offset, and am noticing rubbing on the inside part of the wheel well plastic liner..

Is anyone else having this?
The rim clearly shows 56 as the offest..

I was told the higher the offset, the less the tire sticks out, but I didn't know about the rubbing...

Can anyone advise on this?
Thanks..

There are 2 different offsets on the 17x11 wheels. The ZR1 has
a 36mm and the Grand Sport is 50mm.
