Looks to me 17x11 with a 50MM offset. There are two offsets available in ZR1's. 50MM and 38MM. Those look like 50MM if you look at 5POINT7's Formula he has 38MM offset which stick our further, but still look sick nonetheless.

so far, im steering towards purchasing the 38/36 offsets. i like how they look, the wide look. i wish 5.7's car would have been lowered in those pics.

I believe that 5POINT7 has springs on his car now and I think he said before that he wishes he had a 50MM offset.

Those are the best ones where you can see the rears. I don't quite understand the whole wide look you're talking about. IMO there isn't a huge noticable difference b/w a 17x11 with a 50MM offset and one with a 38MM offset. You can tell that both of them are wide as ****, but the problem I hear is that if you're lowered you have to roll the fenders...especially with a 38MM offset.

17x11 - 50MM offset.
17x11 - 38MM offset.
Doesn't look like a big enough difference to deal with possibly more headaches for going with the 38MM offset. You may want to PM him. I have no personal experience with either one. I'm just going by heresay, but heresay has taught me a lot of **** on this board.

he told me he liked having the 38 offset better than the 50. he also said the fender rolling and the "BFH" mod was well worth it for the wider look.

go with the 50mm rim on a stock length rear axle. a freind of mine has them and and they are just barely outside the lip because he didn't roll them.if you go with the 38mm, they stick out too far and don't quite look right imo. the with of the rim cannot be seen anyway, it's all about the wider tire you'll have to go with and that's all you or anyone will see behind you anyway. i have a new rear coming and will need the 38mm to offset the 2" per side narrowing if i go with the SS rims again. but i think i may just stick with my Bogarts every day with skinnies and big *** 325/50/15 MT Radials i got today!!!
