Depending on the backspacing of the wheels you won't even be able to bolt the wheel up with the 1.75" spacers. My brothers car has 17x9.5 ZO6 wheels and they clear the strut and tie rod by about an 1/8". No way 1.75" spacers would work here. They don't stick out of the fenders at all with the 2" spacers.

With 2" spaces, you should also keep the same centerline, thus not effecting some of the steering dynamics. If you don't keep the same center-line, you will change the scrub radius, and that will effect steering feel on the car.

You need 2 inch, and possible 2.5 inch if your going with one of the wider wheels like the ZR1. My ZR1s fit with 2 inch, but the tie-rod end is extrememly close to the wheel
