I'm going to guess that these are are not OEM wheels and you will need a spacer.
My 17x11 black GS wheels don't rub in the rear of my ZO6. They have a 50 mm offset. OEM ZR1 wheels had a 36 mm offset which means they have another 14 mm of clearance on inside and would stick out farther.
Back spacing on my 17x11 GS wheel is 8". (From back of rim to mounting surface) I ran 335 17's on the back without rubbing and had -1 degree camber in the rear.
