hey anyone with 17x11 zr1's...
I just found a good deal on a set of 17x11's for the rear of my car. I was wondering if anyone had some pictures of their F-body with 17x9 on the front and 17x11 zr1's on the back, preferably with a 315 tire. Thanks guys!
also did all of you have to do the BFH mod to make em fit?

haha. I didnt know ZR1s were different? oh well, I picked em up for 300 bucks. Def. worth it. I did not have to do the BFH, or roll my fenders at stock height. Lowered tho i had to roll. Tire size also plays a major factor in determining that. My nitto DRs run skinnier than my Goodyears. Hence i had more issues with the good years.

considering neither of you have supplied this thread with pictures of a 17x11 ZR1 on your car there is really no need to be posting. If you want to be productive, you can always send me the link to the thread that is containing pictures of a 17x11 Zr1 on the back of an F-body. I mean it does get asked so often. thanks for all your help.
But to answer your question (which you could have found the answer to in a matter of minutes). You may or may not have to do the BFH. All cars are different. If you're car is lowered, you'll likely have to do the BFH mod. If its not lowered, then probably not. It also depends on what brand 315s you plan on running. Just mount the wheels/tires. Drive a little bit, take them off and see if you see any scrapes.

HTF do you know i didn't do one search. I searched around plenty and found a few pics before i made the thread. I figured no one would have a problem posting pics of there ride. Apparently no one wants to post pics of their car.
so why dont you GTFO and stop making useless posts

For being a newbie you sure are starting off on the wrong foot, ls1 owner or not.
Like Donohue said, it will depend on the car. Something wide like the GSD3 might require more modding than a Nitto. But it all just depends on the car. I was running BFG KD's and had no problem with them at all when they are a pretty wide tire and some cars may need the BFH.

My roommate has 9's in the front and 11's in the back. Go to his profile and look at some pics, he's name is jrob56. I know he cut off the bump stop to make the rears fit but didn't roll the fenders.

You can find my pics in my album on the black car. Sitting at stock height and I BFH'd it and cut off the bump stops just because I might as well and it won't hurt anything to do it right and just be safe the first time. Didn't need to roll the fenders but I will be doing that as well for more insurance real soon. Hope this helps!
