zr-1 wheels question

[Opleezz]

I have been told that with the rear you need a spacer on them, and it is alot of money, i know a lot of you guys have them on your trucks so let me know...

if you get the right size wheel you wont need spacers..

So tell me, the only thing i am finding is the replica wheels, are there any places where i could find some that arent replicas? cause im not finding them....

Well I just bought 91 OEM zr1 rear wheels with tires. They will fit perfect without spacers and are the correct offset 17x11 36mm offset 315x35x17 tire size.

Check the corvette sites.

The front needs a 17 x 9.5 +56mm offset.

The rear can be either 17 x 11 +36mm offset
or 17 x 9.5 +38mm offset. The 11" will be a perfect match to the front on offset, the 9.5 will be set inside by less than 1/4", so no spacer will be required.

As for OEM vs. Replica; you can shop around for OEM but if you find a set in perfect condition they will be expensive. You can find some less expensive but ususally they show their age. The replicas I sell are by Original Equipment Concepts (O.E.C.) who was one of the OEM wheel suppliers for the corvette so you know the qualitiy is good. They carry a lifetime warranty on the structual and the price is right. Let me know if you need prices.
