Default 16" zr1 replica

I am considering buying a set of these 16" ZR1 replicas. I have never heard of 16" ZR1. The guy has them on a 3rd gen that has a 95 rear end in it and he has 2" spacers on the front wheels. He is not sure of the offset but he thinks that the back spacing is 6.5". Will they fit my 98 z28 properly? (without stiking in or out too much) here is a pic.

Well that's a first for me... And 2" spacers sound very dangerous. Sure you don't just want to get 17's from OEWheels that you know will fit?

He is running 2" spacers on his 3rd gen. I will not be putting any spacers on.
I would like to buy some wheels from OE but I am in Canada and by the time I get those wheels here they would cost me a small fortune.

I'd guess 16" ZR1's were what the 96-97 SS 'verts had since i believe the LT1 SS and WS6 verts had 16s instead of 17s. I don't think 4th gen wheels fit without spacers on 3rd gens so thats probably why he is running spacers on his car. i'd guess they would be a direct bolt on to an LS1 4th gen.

GM made a 16x8 ZR1. It was used on 96-97 Verts and SLP offered them on 98+ for their RS package.
