Default 84-87 C4 - 17x11 all round - what offset?

For those of you that have run a 17x11 all round on an early suspension C4 - what was the offset that you used?

I'm likely to just run 275/40/17's right now as I've only just purchased them but I have some 17x11's local that I was considering getting.

Thanks,

Dan

AFS use to make a ZR1 copy in the correct offset, 34 mm. That is also the correct offset to run in the front of a F-body, I have a set that I ran for a few years
Dont know what the right offset is for the front if the older C4

Its the ZR1 off set not the 96 GS off set. I can't remember the mm.

"Real" ZR-1 rear wheels will work at all 4 corners of the 84-87 cars. Those wheels have a 36mm offset. Reproduction 17x11 wheels with that offset are available from aftermarket suppliers.

You can fit the 17x11 with a 315/35 tire in the front wheelwells of the 84-87 cars.
