Hi all

will the 17x11" ZR-1 style rims fit the back of the 87? I was wondering if they would stick out past the upper fender lips. I know about the offset, I am looking at wheels that are already custom made for the 87 offset.

Help appreciated

Are you looking at the AFS wheels with the 84-87 offset?

If so, those don't stick out at all. Aqua-86 has them on his car, and I've seen them a few times in person. I'm planning on getting them for my car also.

They stick out about a 1/3". Here are some pictures of 17x11 on my 86 (They would lokk the same on your 87).
