I will be buying a set of zr1 rims soon. I can't decide between the 36mm offset or the 50mm for the rear. I don't want to use a spacer. Imput needed.

I'm running the 17X11 with 30mm on the rear. Didn't have to BFH but did have to roll the fenders. I also have the 36mm offset up front with no problem

I saw a dude on ls1tech running a 335 on a 36mm offset 17x11 zr1 rim and it looked sick. Could I do this with the 50mm offset? How much more bfh do you have to do with the 50mm offset?

I have 50 mm and run 315's no issue. I bought them from a buddy who ran 335's and he did minor bfh work.

Alright just put my order in on a set of black zr1's 17x9.5 and 17x11 w/50mm. I wanted to run a 335 but too pricey. So I am going with the new nitto nt05 275/40 front and 315/35 rear. I can't wait!

I too am looking at a set of some Zr1's in the same sizes and tire sizes you are, 95yardbird. Did you get yours yet?if so are you lowered any and did you have to hammer anything?

Put them on last weekend with 315 NT05. I didn't have to hammer alot because I had already done so to fit the 295's. I had to cut the bump stop mount in half & the bump stop. I am thinking about just cutting off the bump stop. What do ya'll think? I am going to lower it tomorrow with bmr springs in the rear.

50mm rear offset and 56mm front. The black ZR1 wheels are the same as the GrandSport I believe.
