Default Anyone running ZR1 wheels on your C5

Asking if anyone is running the rear 17 x 11" ZR1 wheels from 1991 thru 1995 ?
Do they fit a C5 or C6..? Any modding necessary ?


Thx
Pitt

They fit, we never grinded on my 00 C5 or my cousins 02 Z06. I only put the rears on, not the fronts. Zero issues for us. Stuck out at the top a hair, as in it peeks past the fenders a bit. but for what we used them for, no problems.

...and it was the GS with fender flare offset we used, not the actual ZR1 offset.
