What Is the Lowest Offset people have ran i front and rear? I really want to try to get my hands on some new wheels but not sure what offset I should be looking for..... why does it have to be so hard to get wheels for a 96 ugh

Quite a few places make them, most all the custom shops will make you wheels. I kept meaning to check if Volk Racing made anything in our offset, they have some of the sweetest looking wheels. Fiske, HRE, Boyd, BBS, SSR etc all make wheels for our cars. What were you looking for? also the choices get even more vast if you can live with a 17x9 or 18x9, stock offset is 56mm but 48-50mm would probably work on a 9" wheel.

I am in the same problem. I have a 91 coupe that I have been wanting to get new wheels for. Now that I want to replace the tires I think this would be a good time to get the wheels I have been wanting to replace.
I have 275/40/17 all around and will probably stay with that size. I have been looking as some Cray Manta wheels which are made specifically for corvettes. I was told that the only size that would fit are the 17" X 9" size. It's because of the offset.
Do anyone out there have Cray wheels? what are you thoughts?
Thanks.

Had a 94 coupe , bought 96 grand sport wheels and ran 315's on the back, don't remember front size . wheels are similar to zr1 but only stick out about 1/4 inch in the rear . think I bought them from WCC ,

I have posted on EBAY my set of HRE 547's. There is a picture of them on my car (which is a 96 Collector). They are $2,699 shipped and are in great condition. These would be $5K to $6K new. They also have great tires on them.
I am selling them because I sold my 96 when I purchased an 08.
Take a look.
My seller ID on ebay is VRRRMM
