could you post some pictures of 17x11's with a good rear shot so that i can see how far they stick out of the wheel well, as well as what size tires you have on them. i would love to put on 11's but concerned about them looking funny if they stick out to far. thanks , also could someone tell me how to post pictures?

Here's a rear shot of my old '86. I had the 17x11's with 315's on the back from afs wheels



Here's a side shot of one of the back tires. As you can see, they barely stick out.

Just got these on today.

IN my sig, you'll see my zr1 sawblade 11's. They look real nice, but I probably wouldn't lower the car. At stock height I have not had any rub.

Just got my 17X11's on, from AFS, a couple weeks ago . They stick out MAYBE 1/2"...

Here's a couple shots:







Really, not all that bad!!

EDIT: Sorry, they are 315's (forgot!)
Wanna see a shot that'll make you buy the 11's, with 315's?? I love this shot
:D

If yours is a 94-----88s and up use the grand sport offset, depending on rear wheel alliment or tire brand, some are flush, where some stick out 1/4 to 1/2in., use GS offset and you will be fine. If you have a ZR1, use the ZR1 offset.
The AFS website did have a page where they explained the different sizes.
87's and down are different.

Make sure you get the 17x11's with the GrandSport offset not the ZR1 offset. It makes a big difference.

Call me stupid but I forgot the tire sizes for front's and rears :confused: :banghead:

thanks for the help. i will buy the grand sport offset, i was not aware of the difference before...what about oe wheel manufacturing seem to be very cheep to buy on ebay? about 890 plus shipping for chrome, anyone have these? how about the quality if you do?

Got my z-r1 Chromies off ebay from AFS for 710 after shipping. They put up the wheels that have a bubble in the chrome, and the such. However they show you everything wrong with them. My car isn't for show , but if it was I'd still use the rims I got from them. the pictures of the rims actually exaggerated the spots on my rims, i had to look for them , and was like :confused: this is why they discounted them ? Have some patience and you'll find a great set for a good price. :seeya

Fiberglasscoffin,
how come I see an air gun and no torque wrench??? :nono:

fiberglasscoffin

because you see a IR THUNDER GUN i think it has 650 ft.lbs of torque besides you ever see a shop using a torque wrench to change wheels im probally wrong but i feel safe.
