Default NEW WHEELS
Well i see a lot of guys getting new wheels with good and not so good input. Hope i have a positive experience, i just ordered (4) 17x9.5 chrome ZR1 replica from CWS they are all 54mm offset. I plan on running 285's all around at least i can rotate front to back on same side. Any body see any problems with that setup. :chevy

i thought 56mm was optimal offset for the 9.5 wheel... when I looked at GM specs 56mm was used with the 9.5 wheel and 50 with the 11inch wheel...
I ordered a set from a vender and his 9.5 was 53mm and it stuck out past the fender :mad
Be sure to post pics and info when u get them...
I was considering CWS to order my set from... :cheers:

285s will fit fine. I'm also running them front and rear.

I know it's not a big step up in size from 275's but would 285's fit on my stock CE rims up front? Stock offset is how much?
