New wheel question for the ZR1 Big Brake/Wheel experts - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Happy New Years Gentleman!

The Mod Bug is biting away feverishly. I already have the calipers, and rotors for the car now what I need is to get the wheels in the proper size before I have the hats and brackets made. I have chosen to use the wheel below as it appears in "black chrome". However the wheel comes in a few different offsets and I need to know which would be best to allow the most clearance of the big brake calipers while keeping the spacing to a minimum of the hats. They have the wheels available in a +38 or +56 offset for the fronts. I know the best offset would be the +38 but the question is does anyone have a big brake kit (4 or 6 piston) installed on their ZR1 with this wheel? Pics? Spacer thickness needed? Fender clearance? Does the wheel protrude out of the side of the wheel well? If so how much? Any other concerns?
