Help needed!!!

Ok guys I have looked through here so much I have confused myself...which aint hard to do...I would appreciate any help I can get. Here is what I have 92 RS stock brakes and stance at this time. I bought a set of zr1 with high offset. 17x9.5 / +54 offset / 7.30 back spacing for front and 17x11 / +50 offset / 7.90 backspacing for rear. What size spacers and tires would you all recommend. I am thinking 2" spacers all around and 245/40/17 front and 275/40/17 rear. All opinions welcome.

Re: Help needed!!!

From what I have seen recommended here 56 offset requires 2.25" spacers in the front.
The rear would need 2" spacers.

Please mock up a wheel on your car and measure what you can get away with. People recommended 2" spacers with my 38 offset 17x9.5's. If I went with 2" spacers the wheels would be hanging out too far.

Tires I would use with that setup would be 275/40 fronts and 315/35 rear. If you prefer the slightly stretched look and are lowered then 245/45 and 275/40 will work great and probably have better transitional response than my choice.

Places to pay attention for clearance issues are the rear bump stops and front strut/tie rod end.
