17x11 17x9 zr1's on a 92 Camaro

What is it going to take to get these to fit? The wheels are 17x9.5 with a 56 mm offset, and the 17x11's have a 50mm offset. Also what size tire should I run? Should I get 2" spacers or larger?

2.25" front, 2" rear.

Or put in a 98-02 rear & you'll get big disc brakes & not need the rear adapters. 93-97 rear will do the same, but you'll have the same size disc brakes. If you have drum brakes now, then both are a win-win option for you.

The best tire size for the fronts to not rub is a 275/40/17 and the rears should be 315/35/17 for the best, widest look you can fit under our cars.

There are 2 offsets for factory 17x11 vette rear wheels here they are
1996 Grandsport = 50mm. 1990 - 1995 ZR-1 = 36mm offset
