Pretty sure the 11s will fit in the back (with correct spacers) - not sure bout the front though. www.aaarims.com sells OEM wheels in all finishes.

Go to www.skulte.com

They have two good designs that don't require spacers and severl different spacer kits to bolt just about any application you would want.

I just bought a set (4) of 17x9.5 with 275/40ZR17 on all four corners and they fit perfect, even with a 11/2" lowering kit.

anyone got pics of a car with 17x11 wheels, i went to skulte, but i can get the rims cheeper some where else, but i will get my spacers from them just i would like to see pics,anyone ? or anymore wheel sites thanks

jeremy7777

is there a company that makes bigger stock wheels by change ?

I just bought a set and they will fit with my 4thgen rear and some 2" spacer in the front wut you will need to push in the front wheelhub with a 2x4 and a heat blower a little
I fit DUNLOP SP8000 335's in the rear

I had a pic from the auction when I won but I deleted it sorry
But i will get everyone some pics of them ASAP they are glorious when I stack all four tires on top of eachother they are about an inch higher than the car, LOL!

jeremy7777

yeah i love to see some pics,of that my self lol, well i might go with just 17x9 in the front, instead of going through the trouble or cramming them in , i suppose that 17x9 will fit perfect and as far as the rear, ya saying that the 17x11 fit , eventually i want to do the 4th rear swap so i wont need spacers for the rear, but i want the biggest tire possibly for the rear without it looking stupid, or sticking out, thanks for the info man , by the way anyone know what viper tires are in the rear, and what size rims they use , thanks

MATEOZ28

I'm sorry I just looked at the tires and they are not 335 but 325 sorry
I've heard that the viper rear tires were 315. Which is still huge. Call ANDRIS SKULTE he will tell you that the tuck that needs to be done to the front of the tires is extremly easy to do and he'll give you exact instructions.

The Dodge Viper runs 275/35ZR18s up front and 335/30ZR18s on the rear.

The wheels themselves are 18x10 up front and 18x13 in the back.

On my 91 Camaro Z28 i put zr1 wheels on it. The front was 17x9.5 with 275/40r17 tires and they fit fine. I did not have to modify anything up there. On the back I had 17x11 with 315/35r17 and had to hammer in the wheelwell a little. They did not stick out at all. I used spacer from skulte, they were 2.25" for the front and 1.25" for the rear. The wheels I bought on ebay from AFS because there one one tiny mark on them. I paid 800 dollars for them. New they cost around 1200. Their website is www.afsinfo.com
There are a few pics on my webite.
here's two.

holly cow, thats badass, that last pic just made my mind up, that is awesome, just one more guestion, what happens when you lower the car, i would like to get the eibach sportline springs to lower anywhere from 2 to 2,1/4 inches, anyone had problem when they lower there car with these wheels, and if i got konis yellows would that stiffen it up so it might not bottom out,when its lowered if it would at all, ??????? thanks for the messages and pics guys, that is one bad camaro, i might just buy two sets, one for my firebird, and one for my 86 z28 thanks guys,

jeremy7777

one more guestion, i heard people say that the tires are getting harder to find for the zr1 rims, is this true, i dont want to spend a grand for wheels only to find out 2 years from now they wont even make a tire for it, that would suck, anyone know the answer ?

Dave91Z28

When I was looking for tires for my zr1 wheels I went to www.tirerack.com and bought from there. They have about 7-10 different brands that make tires to fit 17x11s. You might have some clearance problems if you lower the car but I think it will work if you roll the fender lip so you don't chew up your tire.
