ZR1s, Need wheel spacer...Where? Hi there, I recently bought a set of 17x9.5 chrome ZR1s from AFS because I already had 275/40/17 tires and did not have the money to spring for 11inch wheels AND get some 315s.
I ordered the +56mm offset as suggested for camaros and I'd like to bring the back wheel out just a bit.
Has anyone else done this? How thick of spacer could I safely run and where could I find it? Thanks
In time, I will get some 17x11s with 315s, but would like to get these looking better in the meantime.

Don`t have any tires on them yet. Car is on jackstands. Go to wheelspacers.com. The guy`s name is Fred Goske. I want to do the same as you up front. I`m going to wait till I get my tires to figure out how thick of a spacer to use. Fred`s spacers have a reputation of being very very good quality. If your going to do this, get some ARP wheel studs part # 100-7708. They are a little longer than stock. Lots of guys use spacers. Even road racers and autocrossers.

I've seen a few pics of 17x9.5 ZR1's with the +38mm offset on a camaro and they look sweet
