Does anybody know where I can find a black c4 Zr1 17x8.5? I've looked about everywhere but everything seems to be 9.5 and bigger.
Thanks

 

the 96 grand sport coupes used 17x8.5 and 17x11 rear. The convertibles used I'm pretty sure 17x8.5 f & r.

why not just run 17x9.5?

 

I really would like to be able to run a 245 tire up front for several reasons. More/cheaper tire selection, and less likely to have rubbing issues if i decide to lower the car in the future. Of course, saving some weight is always nice.
If i cant find an 8.5 then i guess a 9.5 will have to do, but i thought i'd ask around first.

Are the grand sport wheels identical to the black zr1s?

 

yes, they are the 5 spoke wheels like the ZR1's.

 

Maybe I'm not that knowledgeable, but not sure they made ZR1 wheels in 8.5" wide - they did that on the C5s.

245 tire is slightly cheaper and there are a few more tire options, but the extra 30mm per side on a front heavy car is a good thing.

If you are looking at lightweight 17" wheels, take a look at CTW Motorsports' offerings: http://www.ctw-motorsports.com

 

You could always get the brushed finish and paint them.
