i'm thinking GS is around 50mm and ZR-1 is around 30mm. Not quite sure though... i know someone else will know this. i've seen it in a thread before.

Re: How do you measure wheel backspacing? (96VegasVette)
The easiest way to measure backspace is to lay the wheel face down onto the ground so the backside of the wheel is facing up. Take a straight edge and lay it diagonally across the top of the wheel (what would be the inboard flange of the wheel). Take a tape measure and measure the distance from where the straight edge contacts the inboard flange to the hub mounting pad of the wheel. This measurement is backspace.
