If you are talking ZR-1 Replicas, the offset is 50mm for both the 9" fronts and 11" backs.

Xsta Z 28...Do you have 17X11 Zr1's on your car? I was looking to put some on my 98 ss conv and was curious about any fitment issues? That would be using a 315/35/17 tire

My freind Mark had them. Fitment was fine. There was a need for an adjustable panhard rod, and some slight massaging of the inner wheel wells, with a big hammer. They looked really good.
