Hey guys,
My father just recently purchased a 84 and is wanting to put a set of 94 ZR1 wheels on it. what is involved to make these wheels fit? what mods or upgrades do you need?
thanks guys.

Actual zr1 wheels (11" rear) or zr1-style rims? Also, I believe they come in 8.5" and 9.5" widths.
I'd suggest a 3/4" or 1" adapter for mounting the 9.5s.
Also, they MUST be oem wheels. Replica wheels can not be used with smaller than 1-1/4" adapters, or the lugs won't clear.

For true ZR1 wheels you need a 0.75" scacer in the front. No spacer in the rear.
True GS wheels with the 11" rear rims require 0.75" spacer front and rear.
ZR1 style wheels might have another offset and require spacers in the rear too, or no spacers if they are made for 1984-1987.
