Default Chrome ZR'1s and 315 BFG KD's(pics)

Finally got what I have been wanting for a while. Got the wheels from Tomzwheels, and they are fantastic. I didn't know they would have a lip on the rear wheels, I was happily surprised.

What did the tires set you back? I am in dire need of new rubber, my Yokohama AVS Sport are worthless right now. I have the same sized tire/wheel combo that you have.

I noticed that you have B&B Triflo tips, but your muffler isn't polished....what's up with that?

Thanks alot for posting pictures!

It really gives me a great visual on what my car will look like minus the SS hood and the lack of the Berger Panel.

Just about everyone with that combo uses 56mm front offset, 50mm for the back.

Tires cost about 560 on the car. I don't have the B&B muffler, I bought the tips off a member here 2 years back, its a stock muffler. As Manny stated, they are the +50 mm offset, I did have to BFH mod the rear fenders some, wasn't bad though.

I wonder if you can order just the rears from TomZ Wheels? I'd like to have some 17x11's some day.

I didnt think you would have to worry about the rear unless you had slicks or something more extreme... unless you were launching at like 5k or somehting. Anyway the car looks great! I didnt find out the ZR1s came with a lip either until about a week ago

Yeah, my ZR1's are still from the old stock from AFS. My spokes are more rounded and not as "edgy" as the newer ones, and my 11's in the back are inset where the lugnuts are, my "lip" is equal front to back...which kinda sucks. Being that they go down in price so much, maybe I'll just get myself a new chrome set and sell my current polished ones.
