i have the 17x9 (front), and the 17x11 (back). The stance is pretty nice. I know afs has changed up the offset of the zr1's as my new set in chrome have a slightly diff offset due to the fact many people were not able/willing to handle wheel well and bumpstop mods.
Make sure you invest in a stiff adj. panhard. The wheels will look great but if the car isnt dropped a 35 profile will give you up to 3.5 inches between quarter and tire (the 4x4 look). A set of 1.5 bmr drop springs remedy that. You will have to shim the bumpstop to avoid rolling the lip in the quarter and or grooving the tires. Also keep in mind that with a 9" front you will want a 275-285 tire. Make sure you have a decent alignment after install or chances are the nose will dart side to side in the bumps and imperfections in the road.
-Nine ball- the ss looks nice with those.
