I'm looking for 1 to 4 used ZR1 wheels (17 x 11) to fit an 88 Corvette.
Does anyone have anything like that they are looking to sell?

Thanks

P.S. I use the Big Grin icon on all my posts because even talking about stuff that has to do with autocross puts me in a good mood!

For 88-96 you want 17X11 from a Grand Sport, the ZR1 offset only works on a ZR1 or a 84-87, the ZR1 offset will stick the tires way out of your fenders.

Corvette forum is a good source, or you can buy GS wheels from AFS on ebay cheap and you can get silver or black. The AFS ones weigh about 2 lbs more but are also about half the price of OE.

I appreciate the info from you guys. I actually have an '85 vette, but the front end is off of an '88 and I have like 1" spacers in the back so I think I now have the offset from an 88 back there. I'm not worried about the tires sticking out past the well in the back but am a little worried about the front fenders. Someone did tell me I can actually run the 17 x 11's in the front as well? Does anyone you know do this?

You can run 17x11 zr1 offsets front and rear. Ditch the spacers. Lowering or using 335s may get you a bit of rubbing at full lock.

Do you know what the actual ZR1 offset is?

I would like to run 315 x 35 in the front and 335's in the back. As far as the fronts, I don't care how much they rub on the inner well, I just don't want to crack the outside fender.

So, if I'm understanding this right, you do think it is possible?
