17x11 in the rear???

I'm going to get ZR1 wheels, I was thinking 17x9 all around. But what about 17x11 in the rear. Will it work that big in the rear or should i play it safe with 17x9. What size spacer/adaptors do i need on the front with 17x9. And what size in back with 17x9 / 17x11.

Get the 17x11. That's what I'm eventually going to end up with. And they will fit, it's been done.

Also, as for spacers and what siz to use, Andris has all of this information on his web page along with the spacer prices.

Also (again), I'd go for the chrome wheels.

The 17x11" rims will fit with 315's.
You'll need 6" of backspacing for them to clear.
I also don't recommend them if the car is lowered.
On hard bumps they will rub on the upper wheel well.
