ZR1 offset wheels on regular vette?
I'm picking up a set of wheels to race with and they're ZR1 offset with 11" rear wheels. Is it possible to run ZR1 offset wheels on a regular vette? What will this look like?
The front rims are the same size and offset so that's not the problem I'm worried about the rears. I know grand sport offset wheels are no problem so I'm comparing the two offsets but I'm not sure what this means.
Grand Sport rear is: +36.5 mm w/ 7.397 backset
ZR1 rear offset is: +50 mm w/ 7.93 backset

You have it backwards, GS rears are 50mm and ZR1 wheels are 38mm.
ZR1 rears on a 92 will stick out from the fender wheels, by almost an inch.
