Bluewasp,
That looks great. Any rubbing after the mod? Also, do you remember what the offset was?
Thanks, that gives me hope.

Thanks for the pictures.
these are the 38 mm offset ,they are original zr1 wheels

if you think that the tire is sticking out to much you also can go
with a 315 tire but when you have the 335 tire it
will also protect your wheel from scraping sidewalks
the grip is super from the pirelli,s i already bought another set

and i have NO wheelbaring problems !!
the wheel is not only going outworth but also inworth so the wheel is
not hanging more to the out or the inn side so the wear is not exessive
on the bearing ,it is if you have the 50mm offset there is more wheel
going to the outside of the car than the inside so there CAN be a litlle more wear
but i dont know for sure you have to ask that to someone else
who has the 50 mm offset

The 50mm Grand Sportoffset will bring the wheel in more. The ZR1 sticks out further. These are 315's on Grand Sport 50mm offset
