Default Question...17x11 ZR1's

I'm looking to get the OEM 17x11 ZR1's with a 50mm offset. For those of you who have them, do you have fitment/rubbing problems??

Were you in Dublin this afternoon? I think I saw you on a cross-street but by the time my light turned I couldn't catch up without being insane.

And without too much of a hijack, I just got the exact wheels but no tires yet so I sort of have the same question though I anticipate having to dent the inner fender wells

No fitment issues here. Although we are running the relatively narrow (for 315s) Nitto DRs on the back. We are also lowered. No mods to the inner fender well.

Exclamation

Search is WONDERFUL thing . . .

But to repeat.

50 mm offset. had to massage inner wheel well. Install adjustable panhard to center axle. All was good to go, w/ BFG KD tires.

Note rear axle MUST be supported or wheel will not clear bumpstop. Bumpstop mods ARE NTO REQUIRED, but can be done for convenience. IMHO, do NOT remove bumpstop, just shave it to clear the wheel in the full hanging posistion. Again not required.

I got tired of repeating it all the time. I am a wordy person, so I am just gonna give up to explain it to everyone over and over again. Very few people ever respond anymore once I post my essay of an explanation....and don't even bother to say thank you...with a few exceptions.

Yeah, it's black. I also saw a black convertible SS on 580W, a white SS while leaving Dublin and a navy blue SS with chrome Z06s on Camp Parks.

Only things done to mine so far is a new front suspension setup and the rear suspension parts patiently waiting

It's good to hear that I shouldn't need to roll the fenders with GSD3s as those are my desired tires.

I hope you get those GSD3s soon. I tried to order a pair myself and they weren't available. They're going to be discontinued.
