Re: Pics of my new 17x11

275/40/17 front and 315/35/17 rear. 315s are big but they still spin easily with well over 400ftlbs at the wheels.

I dont think he gets on here anymore. The fronts he got on with just using an adapter (2"). The rear, I'm not sure. He did some severe hammering on the wells to get the 17x11s to tuck and not look funny. He may have went with the Grand Sport 17x11s instead of the ZR1 17x11s. I know he had to switch adapters for thinner ones to get even more tuck. They did not touch the fenders at all. The fenders were also rolled. I'll call him tomorrow and see if he remembers what he used.

The 17x11 ZR1's I got are supost to be 50mm off-set, which
I understand take a 2.0in adapter, well that didn't work.
Next I tryed some 1.5in adapters they were ok but the tire still
stuck out.
Next I tryed some 1.25in adapters and they gave me the look I was looking for, but I had to modify the inner fender well greatly.
He also rolled the fenders to prevent "tire slicing" and damage to the fender
