ZR1 wheels

Hi guys, I am sure this was asked before, but all thease different wheel sizes are confusing. I have an 86 z51 that I would like to put some new rims on. On ebay there is a company selling chrome ZR1 wheels and tires 17x9.5 fronts and 17x11 rears for 84 to 87 vettes. Will thease fit on my 86 with no spacers, and will they stick out in the rear. Do anyone of you guys have pics of ZR1 rims on an early C4. Thanks

They will fit fine without spacers. The rears will likely stick out a bit from the edge of the fender, probably about an 1/8" or so.

Also going from 16s to 17s will work o.k., will there be any wheel well rub or steering problems?

If they are a true ZR1 wheel or have the same offset, that being +38 for the front 17x9.5 and +36.5 for the rear 17x11 they will fit perfect. But if they have the later +56 and +50 offsets they will sit further in and possibly rub on inner fender well.
