WTB Race wheels
Long story short, the 17" x 10" Centerlines don't clear the front hub.
Need a set of race wheels. I would like to stick with 17's all the way around. I need them here by next friday. Cheaper the better. Anyone have a set of used ZR1 replica's etc.
Please let me know

One more question
I found a set of orginal old style (not the 5 spoke) ZR1 wheels cheap are they the same dimensions offsets as the GS style?
They fairly local but won't be able to test fit them till the day before I need to use them...

GS offset is +50mm on the 17 X 11" rim (Fits 88 - 96 Corvette) and of course the C5 as I have them on mine as many do.
Personally I would go with 17" X 11" rims on all 4 corners. This of course depends on the class you run, so double check the rule book... As you are running them on a C5, I don't think you are running a stock class to begin with so you should be fine. 315's Kumho's on all 4 corners works just fine. A little rubbing at full lock in the front, but other then in a parking lot you don't do that!
I got mine through Ebay direct from AFS wheels.

This is the style of the wheels I am looking to purchase off a 1990 ZR1.
These are $275 vs. 500+ for the GS replica's. I have 275-17 hoosiers that I would like to burn up then I will be switching to either a 275 front/315 rear combo or a 315 square combo based on what wheels I decide to go with tomorrow.

Real ZR1 wheels are +36mm offset. I do not think this offset will work. I think the rim would eat the inner fender well.
The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel.
Positive: The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel.

Thanks for the info..
So 50+ offset GS replicas I will try and find 17"x11" tomorrow when the shops are open again. Might make a post on the c5 sale/wanted section now that you guys have helped me figure out what the heck I need.
