ZR1 Wheels on a C5????
This has probably been discussed ad-nauseum, but I couldn't find it in 15 minutes of searching.
I have a track event tomorrow and a buddy is loaning me his track tires for the event, if they fit.
Question: Will ZR1 wheels fit on a C5? We're talking about actual ZR1 sizes and offsets here, not Grand Sport wheels.
If the answer is "maybe", what sort of things should I look for before I roll out onto the track with them?
One friend had some concerns that they would stick out and under load around a turn actually bump up against the body, especially since my car is a bit lowered. Anyone seen that?
Thanks in advance to all who can give good advice here

I have the GS offset 50mm and they stick out a little bit, but don't rub. I'm lowered to max on screws. The ZR-1 offset is 36mm, so they will stick out an additional 14mm (.551").
My educated guess is that they will look goofy, but won't rub. Check frequently.
