Default Wheel offset

Im thinking about getting a set of Zr1 wheels for the track( just the rears) but i was told from a c4 owner that i would need the Grand sport wheels because the offset is different. He stated that the Zr1 wheel was a +30mm and the Grand Sport was +50mm...can anyone chime in so I dont buy the wrong wheels.


Thanks
Dan

Don't know myself but you might have better luck in the tires / wheels section of the General Forum area.

You need the Grand Sport offsets wheels (50mm). The ZR1 offsets will stick in too far and rub.
