Which one will look better. Yours look great by the way. Will the 11's fit with no modifications?

you shouldnt need any help fitting them if your not lowered, when you lower it, thats when the problems surface

Ok thats what I wanted to hear. Anybody else have any opinions on whether I should get the ZR1's or keep my Z06's?

i have the 17x11 in the back with a 315 tire.. stock hight i dont have a problem with rubbing UNLESS! i have passengers in the car... if i have 2 other people and and i go over un even road like on the freeway it will rub... i tried hitting the inner well.. but dam that crap is so hard and sturdy.. i bairly bent it...if i were you... i would try to sell the back set of zo6's and get a pair of 18's for the back and throw a 305 bfg drag radial on it.. but thats just me. but also a 315 nitto on that 17x11 wheel hook really well.. but i also have LCA's.... and they also look really good with that wider zr1 in back... but im just a sucker for 18in zo6's...

Yeah I really like the Z06's. There was just a guy looking to trade his ZR1's and I was going to do it. I think he found someone else to deal with. Im going to search for someone to trade 18x10.5 Z06's for my 17x9.5's or 17x11 ZR1's.

I think the other way around. i think 17in zr1's look much bigger then 17in z06's. 17in z06's look smaaaaall.

I have to agree with this. I have 17s all around and the rears look a little small. Im not unhappy with the 17s (I didnt want 18s) but the 18s look so much better.

you still have to roll the fenders if you dont want your brand new tires cut on the sides.
