The ZR1s will fit with some hammering of the inner wheel wells. Your car is also lowered so you'll probably have to roll the inner fenders.

Mine are the aftermarket ZR1 17x11 rear with 35mm back spacing. No hammering needed.

I got the american racing torque thust II's in 11x17 out back and I rub in one spot that sticks out a bit in the inner wheel well when I'm putting the car sideways. I've got stock springs though, but let me tell you if the car's four seats are full of passengers I drive slow and easy and watch for bumps cause other wise the tires feel the wrath of the top of the inside wheel well.
But passengers slow you down, tell you your scaring them, and plain old take away from the mind set of total driving satisfaction...... Cheesy, yes. True, you be the judge.

You dont really need to roll to finder but you will need the BFH mod.

My oem zr1's fit without any mods, no BFH. They are the grandsport offset. 50mm. Only thing is on large bumps, the tire will make some contact. I curred that with some drag bags. I didn't feel like rolling the lip.

The thing is he's lowered on the eibach pro kit. I think a lot of people are missing that. He's more than likely going to have to roll the fenders.

Default 19x11 fit with minimum work

I have a set of iforge Senekas in my 95 Camaro. They are supposed to be for a Z06 C5. Fronts are 18x9.5, Rears are 19x11. I use NO spacers and the wheel tucks under the car nicely in the rear. I had previousy shaped the inner fender well...near the LCA mount, for a 28x12.50 ET Streets. But other than that, not other mods to make them fit.
