I’m looking to order a set of 17x9.5 Torq Thrust II wheels from tirerack for my ’87 Z52. This is a wheel that is suggested for my car by tire rack, however the offset is listed as 33mm and I thought for 9.5” wheels it should be 38mm. Would there be any issues running this size? Does anyone have these wheels? If so, what do you think of them?

EDIT: here’s the issue: The tirerack configurator says that Item# VN51579561 is the right size wheel for this car (AR TT II with the 33mm offset). But when I go to wheelhero.com, their configurator says Item# VN51579563 (same wheel but with 46mm offset). When I manually select the 33mm offset version that Tirerack says fits my car, the wheelhero configurator says that does NOT fit. So I am getting conflicting answers, and when I’ve tried to lookup what the offset SHOULD be, I am finding 38mm (this doesn’t match either wheel). Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

OK, so I didn’t get any replies to my question but there were quite a few views. I’m guessing others have either gone a different route solving their problem or just trusted their online retailer to send them the right wheels.

I went ahead and bought the wheels from Tirerack and they fit great. This would give me concern about the option suggested by Wheelhero, but in all fairness, I haven’t tried them nor do I know anyone who has.

So if someone else in the future is struggling with this same issue, this worked on my ’87:
