Will 17x11 Zr1s fit my 2000 trans am? I am thinking about buying 17 inch Zr1s for my trans am. 17x9.5s up front and 17x11s out back. i'm pretty sure the 17x9.5s will fit without problems but im not sure about the 17x11s. they have 7.93" of backspacing and a +50mm offset. It seems like they will rub on the inner wheel well a lot. I'm prepared to make minor changes, but not huge modifications. Does anyone have any input? does anyone have pics with ZR1s on a trans am?

My Boyds are 17x11 with a 7.93" BS and they fit perfect with only needing to trim the bumpstops a bit. I am lowered 1 inch and have Nitto 315's which run narrow.

I run that exact setup on my 00 TA. You will need to hammer some things flat on the inner wheel well in the front lower corners. And if your car isn't lowered, the bump stop may hit the rim (& need grinding / removed).

so basically, if im not lowered, the 11" ZR1s will fit fine if i just modify/remove the bumpstops. And if its lowered, i will have to hammer some of the wheel well as well?
