Default Where can I find ZR1's like this??

I want the original style chrome ZR1 17x11 with the flat face, NO LIP and I want it tucked under the the car.

Is this the 50 or 56mm offset?

Where do you get these? I called OE wheel, no go.

From the side I want it to LOOK AND FIT just like a 17x9 plain ZR1 wheel in relation to the fender, from the rear I want the 17x11.

Like this, they have the sunk in lug holes.










Anyone?

Hard to tell from the pics. But why not find a pair from the SS's and just have them widened to 11width.

My 17x11 OE Wheels look just like that. 50mm offset and they tuck under the car. That car in your post has either 36mm offset wheels (which would stick out on a Camaro) or he has wheel spacers. All ZR1s have a lip. The 17x11 36mm wheels have the real deep lug holes. I'm not 100% sure, but I think 9 1/2" wheels come in 56 or 36mm offsets. 11s are 50 and 36mm. One is a Grandsport offset the other is ZR1, but I forget which is which. I would love to find some 36mm 17X9 1/2s though.

The original factory 17x11 ZR1 looked exactly like the 17x9.5 from side, there was no difference from the side on the lip..... the lug hole area was deeper and that was it.


So is the 36mm measured from the front of the wheel? If so that is the deeper offset wheel.

The wheel on the Camaro is different (to my eyes) then the wheel on the TA. The TA wheel has more wheel lip. As far as the offset, if I remember right, offset is measured from a imaginary line through the center of the wheel to the mounting surface on the inside of the wheel.

What's wrong with a OE Wheel replica? If you go with an actual 36mm wheel there's a chance the the wheel will stick out past the fender a little. That offset works on TAs because of the wider body. If you go over to Frrax and search for posts from JonA, you will find how he had to flare his rear fenders a bit. He had 36mm wheels. But his weren't originals though. Finding originals may be hard and end up being expensive.

I had the 36mm zr1s. they stuck out. Reason I bought them was because I saw them on a previous camaro and they fit fine. I guess he had some suspension mods cause it didnt look how I wanted it to. I had 335s mounted on them. No go.

Not all deep lugs are 36mm offset. The wheels on the front of my car are 17x11 with 50mm offset. Says it on the wheel, rear wheels are OE Wheels with the deep dish and I don't like them at all. Maybe after I coat them a different color they will look better

Old thread, just came acrossed it.

Those wheels are off my car.

These wheels are the old ZR1 style corvette wheels. they are not the F-body offset, they stick out passed the fender 1/4"
