I have a '97 WS6 and I'm looking into ZR-1 wheels. I found some on ebay that I like. I already read the "does this fit" thread and several others regarding sizes and what fits. Here's the info on the wheels:

SIZE AND SPECIFICATIONS: 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 that low rear offset fit at all? If it fits, will it cause any problems being that low? Thanks.

Also, what's the narrowest tire I could put on that 9.5" wheel?

777

That's the offset I have. Fits perfect. If you had a camaro it would prolly stick out .5" or so. You will need to roll the fender lip so it doesn't cut up your tires. I'd say a 275 is as small a tire I'd put on 9.5" wheels. I run 275/40/17 front and 315/35/17 rear.

Get the 17x11 with the 50mm offset. That is what I have on mine.

Well, if I knew where I could get them, I'd jump on it. Any ideas?

Thunder Racing is who I got mine from. They're OE Concepts Chrome ZR1's. Here's the link:

Thanks for the link. I really like the black with polished lip, but they don't have that option at Thunder Racing.

Also, does anyone know who sells Cragar TT2's?

It maybe better to call O.E. concepts and see how much cheaper they can get it to you, thats what i did and i got my 17x9.5 and 18x10.5 zo6's, i may call them about getting 2 17x11 zr1's now

So Discount Tire is getting me the black ZR-1's with the right offset. $210 each for the 17x11 and $170 for the 9.5". I'm looking at putting 255/40-17's on the front. I really want to minimize the tracking I'm getting with near bald 275's.

Will I need anything else with this setup? Adjustable panhard bar, rolled fenders, BFH? Also, is it possible to lower the car on 315's without creating a myriad of new problems?

I dropped it 1" with BMR springs and KYB AGX struts then put on the ZR-1's. They had to jack the back up by the axle so that the tires wouldn't get hung up on the bump stops. Then an alignment shop put on the PHB, but didn't know how it worked or how to adjust it. I took a BFH to the inside fender, but I'm still getting some rubbing of the wheel on the inside. I'll have to find someone to adjust the PHB for me or wait until I get a floor jack to do it myself. Here are some pics:
