zr1-type wheels questions
I am thinking about purchasing a set of polished zr1-type wheels for my '96. Looking on ebay, there are the AFS which a lot of people praise and I also see some fromO.E. Wheel Distributors in sarasota, FL. has anybody heard of this company?
ALso, they list the offset as being either 56mm or 38mm for 17 x 9.5. what offset will I need without the wheels sticking out.
Thanks

Re: zr1-type wheels questions (96redvette)
Does your 96 have different size wheels, front vs back? My 92 has the same all around and I bought my ZRs from AFS, but I had the opportunity to go there in person and pick out the ones I wanted. The ZR1 has 11" wheels on the rear. I just told them what year I had and they fit them perfectly. Call them.
This is what mine look like.

Re: zr1-type wheels questions (96redvette)
I do have different sizes (8.5 front, 9.5 rear) should I get the 9.5" all around, or get 9.5" front and 11" rear? Any suggestions/experiences? I lvoe the idea of a 325mm tire on the back, but I am worried about them sticking out past the fenders. Maybe I will call AFS and see what they have.
Thanks

for your 96 if you get 17x11's rear make sure to get 50mm offset, they will stick out just a tad, but will look great!
if you get the real ZR-1 offset 36mm, they will stick out to much
