What do i do exactly to fit ZR1 17 x 11 and 17 x 9.5 rims on my 87IROCZ

Hi everyone. I was really wanting to know what i would have to do to fit 17 x 11 rear and 17 x 9.5 front rims on my 87 IrocZ28. What do i need to do and how many of you out there have actually done this. I have seen a few pics of people on the board that have posted pics of their Z's and trans ams. Give me some info

Thanks, Evan

I have a '91 RS with Boyd 17x11's with 315/35ZR17's in back and it took some beating of the inner fender well, and some outer lip modifications to fit them out back. No modifications were needed for the fronts, which are 17x9's with 275/40ZR17's. Here are some pictures of the finished product.

Hehe. What happened to wanting the Boyds?

Ask this one guy around here, SuperIROC or something like that. He has that exact set.
