C5 Rear Wheel and Tire Question

New here. Just brought home a 2000 C5 (my first Corvette). I plan on taking it to the local drag strips this summer. For some reason 275/40/18 drag radials are ridiculously overpriced. There is a pair of ZR1 17x11 wheels for sale nearby that are cheap-I'm guessing they are from a C4. I already have a set of 315/35/17 drag radials left over from an F-Body. My question is-will these work or will they stick out weird? I don't want to deal with rubbing or fitment issues. Thanks in advance.

Hard to find pics these days. They'll stick out a bit, if they are the Grand Sport offset:

Zr1s and Grandsports had 17x11s. The ZR1 offset will stick out more
