Default Compatible Chrome Wheels?

Here's the deal: Given the offset and backspacing of the stock OEM ZR1 chrome wheels that came on my 2000 Camaro SS (which are 17 X 9 wheels), what are my options for chrome mag-type wheels similar to the American Racing Torq Thrust Ms in chrome? I have checked into Cragar SS 61c and these only seem to come in backspacing of 4.5" or 5.5". If the backspacing on the OEM ZR1s are 6.95 or so, this would probably leave too much wheel hanging outside the fender on the street side. So, are there other similar wheels like the TT Ms to consider? I want to stay with 17 X 9 wheels all around and all chrome and don't want to have to modify the fender or fenderwell with BFH.

Cheers!!

Some guys use 17x9 in the front and 17x11 on the back without a single modification You just gotta make sure the tire you are using wont rub on your fenders, are you planning on using lowering springs? You also have to keep that in mind.
