Question for the tire/rim professionals Hi Troy,
I have a friend who has a 91 ZR1 and he wants to upgrade to 18 inch rims and has been told that the 18 X 11's won't fit in the back. No one can tell him why...is the offset that much different? would 10.5's work? Just tryin to help my buddy out...
Thanks!

That's a great question! Real ZR1s are hard to come by and most people don't know much about them. Fortunately, I have had some experience with the car and can hopefully be of some assistance. The ZR1 was actually a widened factory corvette. The rear axle was the same as the factory corvette but due to the widened body of the ZR1 a lower offset wheel was required to fill the wheel well and create a wider, more stable stance. The original ZR1 wheels were 17x11 in the rear with about a 36 offset. Therefor, an 18x11 wheel should be ok if you can find or have one built with a similar offset. If your freind needs more in depth information, a good company to contact would be Exotic Muscle (480-967-4222) in Phoenix, AZ. Ask for Trevor or Merle. They are both very knowledgable and are happy to answer questions. Hope this helps!
