owners of zr1 5 spoke wheels
 
had some bad luck yesterday, went and bought new tires for my firehawk wheels and the inside chrome is flaking off causing the tire to leak. So I'm switching to some zr1 17x9.5 and 17x11, Im going to buy some strano springs so the car will set a little higher to try and avoid rubbing. What is the best offset for the back? I think my options are 50 and 56, I would assume 50 rear and 56 front is fine. do you guys roll your fenders or get away without it? I'm gonna run a set of nitto 555 315/35/17 in the back

went with a 56 and 50 offset and some strano springs with some founders goodies hopefully everything fits well

I recently bought used 17x11 zr1's w/50mm and Summitomo 315/35-17's for the rear, with Strano springs and Koni str.t's. I put them on, and when fully extended (i.e., car raised with rear all the way down, the tires hit the stock bumpstops. When put down on the ground, they seemed fine. Didn't drive very far, went over a speed bump and got no rubbing. Plan to replace the worn Summi's with Nitto Motivo's as this is my daily driver. The original owner had them on his Firebird and has no rubbing issues.

my bump stops are worn all the way down to the tab so I will most likely just cut them off

Mine was fine with the 17x11s with 315s at stock spring ride till Saturday. With a passenger 350 lbs and my 200 pound nephew, the rear was running over every bump in the road. Guess I'll be rolling fenders.

I have the ZR1's from OE, the rear are 50mm offset with 315/35 tires. Car is an 02 Formula. The rear catch on the bump stops but if you jack up the car from the rear, you'll be fine.
