Default big kit brembo's and zr-1's

it's for the front brakes. 13 inch rotor, i'm fairly sure 0332x32 is what it says which i believe is a hair over 13. is there a correct offset on a zr-1 for the front that will fit?

anyone know by chance?
i'll also post this in tire section
thanks,
rob

I have Porsche 996TT by Brembo (basically the same) on my T/A, and stock 17x9 Firehawk wheels clear with a 1/4" spacer, and 17x11 AFS wheels with a +50mm offset clear with no additional spacers.

The 996TT brake calipers are slightly larger that a Boxter's brakes.

I've even used the stock WS6 wheel with the brakes Chuck describes ... with a spacer, of course.

The spacer is required because the 4 piston caliper stick out in front so far that it will hit the back side of the wheel spoke. The caliper clears the outer rim with a little room to spare. I wouldn't use stick on wheel weight directly over the caliper, though.

so if i'm reading this right, a zr1 with a 56mm offset will work and probably need a 1/4 inch spacer.
do they make a zr1 with more offset to not need the spacer?

thanks for the help so far.

Like stated earlier, they are not the same.
