zr1 wheel question

Hi. Im new to the third gen world. Actually new to the gm world. I have a 91 formula and I have been wanting to upgrade my rims and tires for a while. I have been looking at the c4 zr1 wheels 17x9.5 up front and 17x11 in the rear. I was planning on running 275/40s up front and 315/35s in the rear. The front wheels have 56mm offset I believe positive and the rears have 50mm offset positive. My question is what size wheel spacer would I need to fit these with no rubbing problems. I would like to stray away from cutting and hammering if possible. I would also like to try to keep them in the wheel wells as much as possible. Im not planning on lowering the car ever.. any help would be appreciated.

Re: zr1 wheel question

bringing back a thread from the dead so I dont get flamed for starting a new one lol.

I'm in the same boat as the guy above, I'm saving up for the same wheels and would love to keep inner fender work to a minimum. I've already got 4 2" adapters, the fronts I know will be fine but it's the rears I'm a little worried about. Any input? Making the wheels sit flush or even stick out past the fenders a tad would be fine with me, they don't need to be tucked.

bumpity bump..

Will my 2" adapters in the front be sufficient or do I need to go and invest in some 2.25's?
