Default 17x11.5" ZR1's

I have 4 17x11.5" black ZR1's...now my concern is would it fit on all four corners? or should I do a mix of my current chrome ZR1's that are 17x9.5 (11.5" rear and 9.5" front)? of course I would paint the chrome ZR1's black. And for all of you wondering...which ever way works out for my car I need to sell 4 of these wheels and tires so that's just a heads up in case anyone is interested.

Im pretty sure theyre 17x11s and they should bolt on the fronts pretty easily, however you may need a small spacer depending on their offset

The real question is; why would you want to put that big of a wheel on the front?

I'm assuming either for looks, just because he has them or AutoX but I don't see em looking to good on a street/weekend car if that's what his is.

OP, I would keep it clean and simple with the 9's up front and the 11's in the rear cause imagine having to buy tires for 4 11's every time you needed em. At least with the 9's up front, you can cut your costs a little bit plus it'll look better. Just my $0.02 though. There yours so what ever you like.

There's a little bit of info in the Wheels & Tires: Everything you should need to know is in here. A Must Read!!!!!!! sticky, although it indicates you can't do 17x11s on the front. It CAN be done, but some mods are usually necessary. Check out the pinned thread in the Wheels & Tires forum over on frrax.com for how to do it. Me personally, I'm running 18x10s all around and clearance is a non-issue even at full suspension travel and wheels turned to full lock. I have room to go bigger but offest starts becoming more critical. Especially regarding the clearance to the upper ball joint nut.

Good Luck,
Mark.

I run 17x11 classics all around. The backspacing is of course different front to back but I run a 275 tire up front. So far so good, no fitment issues at all.

Wow! A 275 on an 11" wide rim? I'd like to see pics of that. Not questioning it, just haven't seen it before.

Really. That'd be stretching it to the max. I do 275 on 9.5" wide wheels.

275 on an 11" wheel = fail. Run 315s or put some 9" back up front.

I run 315 nitto nt555 at all four corners, 17x11s with 50mm offset with a 1/4" spacer on the front with the spindle casting nub ground off and they clear just fine.
