Default zr1 Question

Ok i bought some zr1's, 17x9.5 Front and 17x11 rear. I hear that i need an adj. panhard bar OR Wheels spacers for the rear? What would i have to do to fit them on my camaro? I've been reading that i might need to do the BFH mod. Thanks

i just put mine on with no inner fender issues. I do have an ADJ panhard, but I am lowered too. I have a little rubbing over big bumps on the pass side outer fender lip. I may need to roll the lip. I suggest the ADJ PH if you are lowered so you can make sure you are centerd. I went with the 50 mm offset for the rears.

i know quite a few people running the with trimmed bump stops on the rear end. i am running 10.5 in the rear and i trimmed the bump stops and beat the inner fender a little bit! but mine are a + .56 offset so they were a little harder to fit. mine fit perfect now with no rubbing issues and i am lowered

I had to do the BFH mod to mine w/ 17x11s and 335 tires. They didn't rub too bad on the driver side but the passenger side was a lot worse. I didn't mess with the bumpstop at all so I have to lift the rear by the pumpkin or take the wheels off first if I need to unload the rear end. My car is stock height btw.

Do you have a 50mm offset?
