The stock rear (ZR1) rims on my 98 SS are 9.5" wide. I did a bunch of searches and found probably the majority of people saying they are 9" wide but stamped right on the inside of the rim it says 9.5" x 17".

I have a set of these at my warehouse, when I get off work I'll make sure to take a pic of the stamp.

They are not stock then. Should be 9" on all 4 if stock. You're not the original owner, right?

Like ls2 bait said, even if they do have a GM stamp that means they are Corvette wheels because all Camaro zr1 wheels are 9" wide.

You guys a right they are non stock Corvette rims and they are 9.5" wide. The only person wrong is Colin91Z whose heavily modded LT1 car will lose bad to my mostly stock LS1 car.

You got your answer from xsta and then you go and make some random callout for no reason? Hate to break it to you, but your basic bolt on ls1 car will get worn out by his LT1, read his sig before making ridiculous statements! Does your bolt on car trap 118 and go 11s? I seriously doubt it.

Sorry, I didn't get a chance to get over to my warehouse last night, but I'll do it tonight at some point. I have factory camaro ZR1's, so the pics should settle this. Unless someone else posts pics first..
