Default ZR1 17x10

I bought a set of these for a really good price...Problem is they are al 17x10 all the way around...Wanting some advise on this as I have 2 different opinions from 2 people....Guy at firestone been there a while seems to think I need to change these out as soon as I can find someone to trade me some 9's or 9.5's....Roommate is a GM Master tech..he says its fine cept probably hurt the ol wallets feelings...What do you guys think? Also what tire size combo do you think I should run from front to back if I do keep em?

Thanks guys

I agree that they well hurt the wallet in the long run. I ran a 17x11 all around for about 10k miles. It was fine and handled well, but it hurt the rack and was hard to steer.

What is the offset of the wheels? What tires are you running? Check the clearance, between the inside of the upper tire to the upper control, if there is enough room you should be ok to run those tires.

I beleive the offset is 50mm...I was told they weren't replicas and that was the offset on the GM wheel. I also saw some replicas that were 40mm...So i'm guessing somewhere in between or one of the 2...As for the tires i will have to check when I get home.

I would think you might have rubbing issues up front, if you run a tire wider then 275 that is.
