+23 or +35 offset?

I am trying to decide whether or not to go with the ZL1 OEM offsets on my stock suspension 2011 camaro M6 2ss. Ive heard/read a lot of mixed reviews on which will fit better once i got to lower the car. IF i do lower the car.

I will be going with Factory Reproduction's wheels just need to decide on the wheel size and offset's.

I'm interested in this topic as well since I just picked up a set of OEM ZL1 wheels. Trying to decide what size tires to get for them. I'm lowered 1" on megan racing coil overs. Plus I'm running Forgeline GA3's right now. So +35 is the recommended offset all around for OEM black ZL1 wheels on a lowered car?

From what I've read and have been told from a reputable wheel company's (Factory Reproductions) owner Doug Heideman that the extra 1/2 inch with the +35 offset ad's extra piece of mind when lowering the car. Im not lowered YET but I'm sure i will be making a purchase not to long after my wheels to adjust ride height.

If you are for sure going to be lowering your car then go with +35. I didn't see my self lowering my car anytime soon so I went with +23. Doug is an awesome guy to deal with, bought my wheels from him at his warehouse.

Im going to be checking out his warehouse coming up here may 5th for my satin black wheels. Decided on going with his 20x10 +35 fronts & 20x11 +43 wrapped in Continental DWS 275/40/20 & 315/35/20.

Not to shabby for 1,800 installed.

I went with +35 20x10 all around. I wanted to be sure my wheels/tires were not sticking out past the fender.
