Best offset?

Which offset is recommended for the ZR1 17x11 wheels, 36 or 50, on a C5.

Re: Best offset? (jfpilla)

Maybe I need to ask another way. If I use 335/35/17 drag radials, ZR1 17x11 wheels, with 50mm offset will they fit better than 36mm?

Get the Grand Sport wheel offset. Not sure which one it is but it sticks out less than the ZR1 offset wheel. The GS wheel will stick out beyond the fender about a half inch.

Re: Best offset? (jfpilla)

I may be really wrong on this, but I thought that the 17x9.5 was like 56 and the 17x8.5 was 52. Again, I reserve the right to be wrong on this.

This information is from me looking into Z06 Chromies from Xtreme on the exchange program. I believe the 18x10.5 is 56 offset as well. Best I can do.

That helps. You can get the ZR1's 17x11 with GS offset 50mm. Thanks

"ZR1 style wheel with the 50mm GS offset".

I don't think there is a 335/35/17 drag radial.
