OE wheels ZR1

Does anybody have any pics of the OE wheels ZR1's on a third gen in 17x11?
If you do please give details on your setup and what had to be done to get them to fit.

Re: OE wheels ZR1

Re: OE wheels ZR1

If I'm not mistakin I was about to get some and the offset was too much, they needed an inch or more just to fit right, i passed em up since the spacers where 75$ each, I'm sure someone on here can give you some more info. hope this helps good luck

Re: OE wheels ZR1

Doesn't matter which style, or what they look like, painted or not. All that matters is the 17x11", the 5 on 4.75" lug pattern, and the backspacing. A 7" backspacing will work if you do a bit of clearancing. With a 4th gen axle, you'll need another 1.5" of BS. There are plenty of threads detailing the clearancing required. . We aren't going to just give you what you can find for yourself with a few hours of reading old threads. If it really matters to you, you'll make the time.

Re: OE wheels ZR1

The only difference is 6mm of offset. Not that big of a deal.

Re: OE wheels ZR1

Will they fit? I seem to be reading different things on different threads, some say they will and others say they need adaptors.

92 BBC Z, did you have to use adaptors?

Im looking into getting some (all 4 are 17x9's) and i have the stock spindles and stock 3rd gen disk brake rear end.
