Re: help quick! will these fit?? (beachcat)
the backspacing on the ones I'm looking at is 17" x 9.5" are a +38mm offset (6.7 inch backspacing) and the 17" x 11" are a +36.5 mm offset (7.397 inch backspacing). the ones on AFS's website listed for my car are
17" x 9.5" (+56mm, 7.4" backspace) front and 17"x11" (+50mm, 7.93" backspace) rear. These are the same as the Grand Sport offset. how much of a difference is between the two? would the first ones listed poke out or anything??

Dude...you 15 years old and have vette? Geez...and all I got was a 1977 cutlass supreme......anyways...i don't think the 275's will fit on an 11" rim....if you get them to work, I think the life will be very short....need 315's :yesnod:

Re: help quick! will these fit?? (mitymek)
how do you guys drive at 15 yrs old? i mean isnt 16 licens age everywhere?
As far as the rims, I think the offset you want for the 17x11, is the same offset as any ZR1. 88-96's all had the same offset for all rims.
IIRC, I think you need a 56mm offset...
