You definitely want to download the PDF file from Wilwood and look at the dimensional drawing. You will need to take some measurements from you current ZR1 rim and compare the specs against Wilwood's PDF file for the F-body setup. Wilwood's 6 piston caliper has a ton of overhang. In most cases it will take a 18" rim to fit their big brake kits.
I have the SL6 Wilwood 13" 6 piston front setup and the 12.2" 4 piston rear setup on my 96 WS6 LT1 car. My front kit is actually a LS1 6 piston kit, I just swapped the front spindles to LS1's. If your interested in the front kit I'm getting ready to sell it and purchase a larger setup. The kit has less than 10 miles on it since installed (obviously the setup is mint

I got the 17"X9.5" chrome Z06 Motorsports wheels from Tomzwheels.com and they fit just fine, no issues, haven't had any issues with the brakes other than they stop REAL GOOD!
