Last time, what wheel offset?
Alright, put in a 4th gen 3.42 SS rear and I am wanting to put ZR1 11" rears on it. What offset do I need? Has anyone done it? Does anyone have pics with what it looks like?

all i can tell you is you can use the same spacing as a 4th gen would since you have a 4th gen rear. try checking ls2.com or ls1.com since a lot of people have 11inch rims on their 4th gens compared to us. if you do a search on either of those two sites youll have a good chance of getting the right info.

Looked, didn't find answers only questions. I know that there are some guys who have done it. I just want to know what wheel offset to buy. 50mm or 36mm?

50mm, that is 7.93" of backspacing. My new rear end is 65", and my old 3rd gen is 62.25". the difference is 1.375" per side. If 16" IROC wheels have 16mm or 5" of backspacing then now I have 6.375" to have the same amount of room in the wheel well. Am I really able to have another 1.55" more backspacing on my wheels? Has anyone done that?
