Need Help Finding out if Wheels Will Fit!!!
A guy wants to trader me a set of 17x12 zr1's for the rear and 17x10 for the front.... He said they came off a 92 zr1, but I don't even know what that is.... I want to put them on my 99 camaro, which is lowered with the prokit... https://ls1tech.com/forums/western-members/511065-black-z06-wheels-sale.html is the link to the thread, so someone please help me before I end up with something that doesn't fit....

if i understand it correctly, the offset is guaged by the centerline of the wheel. if you have a 0 off set that should mean that the mating surface of the wheel (up and down)is dead center on the width (side to side) of the wheel itself. on a ten inch wheel this would mean a 5 inch back space. i believe if you have a positive offset the wheels will be a shallower dish and if you have a negative offset you will have a deeper dish. so with a 40 mm offset on a ten inch wheel i believe you would have a 6 5/8 inch back space. (10 inch wide 5inches on center so 5inches plus 40 mm which is close to 1 5/8 inches.) back space is the distance from the rear lips of the wheel( engine side of the wheel) to the mating surface of the wheel. get a straight edge and lay it across the wheel so that it crosses the center. measure out from the mating surface to the straight edge and you have the back space of the wheel. so if you have a ten inch wheel with negative 40 mm offset you would have about 3 3/8 back spacing which would mean you had a pretty deep dish.

Either way, the rears should be 17x11 with 50mm offset, and the fronts should be 17x95 with 56mm offset. I can guarantee that you being lowered with the prokit will require a BFH to the inner fender wells, and you will probably have to rent a fender lip roller. Other than that you should be fine.

T = total measured rim width (measured from outside lip to outside lip)
B = backspace (measured from back of rim mounting pad to the outside lip of back of rim. Place straight edge over back of rim and measure the perpendicular distance from the mounting pad to the straight edge)
rim offset = B - (T/2)
for example:
if you have a total measured rim width of 10.5" (266.7mm) and a measured backspace of 7" (177.8mm), then you will have an offset of approximately +44.45mm
rim offset = 177.8 - (266.7/2) = +44.45mm
note: 1" = 25.4mm
B = backspace (measured from back of rim mounting pad to the outside lip of back of rim. Place straight edge over back of rim and measure the perpendicular distance from the mounting pad to the straight edge)
rim offset = B - (T/2)
for example:
if you have a total measured rim width of 10.5" (266.7mm) and a measured backspace of 7" (177.8mm), then you will have an offset of approximately +44.45mm
rim offset = 177.8 - (266.7/2) = +44.45mm
