The rear are 6.35mm more aggressive (6.35mm closer to the fender) - the offset is the same as the stock 17x8 +50, but the rears are .5" (12.7mm) wider than stock. It gets complicated, but the rears are actually only about 1/4" closer to the fender than the OE 17x8 +50 wheels.
Anyway, a nice improvement. Car looks great!
