How Will These Look? I have an 02 silver WS6 that I am looking to outfit with a staggered ZR1 set (17x9.5 f) and 17x11 r. There are two 17" x 9.5" wheels for the front and two 17" x 11" for the rear. They are 5-lug (5x120.65mm). The 17" x 9.5" are a +38mm offset (6.7 inch backspacing) and the 17" x 11" are a +36.5 mm offset (7.397 inch backspacing). Will this work okay on my application other than having to do the BFH mod, I am worried the offset is wrong....can anyone give me some quick insight ????thanks in advance!

They may stick out a little bit more than you'd like, but that offset will work. I have the same wheels except the 56/50 offsets and they stick out just a tad on the back. I had to cut my bump stop and do a little bit of hammering to stop the rubbing but other than that they fit great.
I don't know how much cutting and hammering you'll have to do on the 36mm offset. What color, I always thought black with a polished lip looked great ona silver T/A.

They should work just fine. They will stick out a little more than the 56/50mm offset Zr1's, but the firebird's fenders are wider than the camaros. If you are lowerd you may have to roll the rear fender lip.
