Re: MY new wheels.....zr1's

They look really good, almost like they were made for the car. And the fact they are painted, gives them a Grand sport attitude.. nice

Re: MY new wheels.....zr1's

I'm thinking I have to do the same thing.. I have a 2.77 and am told I can only go up so far. I'd like a 3:42 rear once I stop using my car as my daily driver

Re: MY new wheels.....zr1's

I love gray wheels, and I love ZR1's. They look fantastic on your car. To me ZR1's signify an enthusiast with taste.

Where did you find a gray set of them? Is that custom job or is there a retailer that sells them in that finish?

4th gen rear means no spacers, but won't let you tuck like 1.5" spacers. You can get 3.27:1, 3.45:1, 3.70:1, and 3.73:1 for that 9-bolt axle. We know it's the 9-bolt by the 2.77 ratio.

I actually found them listed on another forum that I go on and the individual had them on his corvette.

Re: MY new wheels.....zr1's

I know it's probably been asked a million times but what has to done to get the 315's to fit. I may be putting a set of ZR1's on my T/A.

Re: MY new wheels.....zr1's

And are your ZR1 rims the +56mm or +38mm offset?
