Default 17x11 wheels question

I just bought some 17x11 zr-1 wheels and i havnt picked them up yet. Im aware that there are two different offsets that it can be...
my question is...what is the case if it is one offset...and what is the case if its the other...does one present a problem? or will either work on the rear?

If they are infact ZR1 rims, they will stick out of your wheelwell. If they are ZR1 type wheels that are made for your car your fine. The True 17x11 ZR1 wheels only fit the 84-87 without problems.

The two different offsets are ZR1 and GrandSport, not sure how the GS wheels would look, but I beleive they will stick out as well, reason for the fenderflares.

What year are they? If original 90's I might want them :D

Goodluck on them fitting.
Matt

My GS offset comes even with the fender wells with 315 x 35 tires. The ZR-1 rims will stick out 1"
