Ok, but, I really have not figured out when everyone went to millimeters instead of inches. What is the inch measurement of those wheels? I just found a conversion chart and with the 45mm in the rear it says the backspace on a 11 inch wheel is 7.7 inches. My 11 inch zr1's have a backspace of 7.397 and they just fit on the inside and stick out a little on the outside. How did you get that offset to fit a 86?

Here are the wheels that I had:











And here are the ones that I've recently bought.
OZ Futura 10x17 front and 11x17 rear:





This is after polishing. I still have to finish one wheel and then I'll
put them on the car.

Hope this helps, no they don't stick out at all, fit flush with the upper wheel well. perfect fit to me.

Really is not a huge difference between 7.397 & 7.7, maybe that is why yours sticks out a little & mine is flush with the upper wheel well. ZR1's are nice wheels.

I love these wheels, right there with Shelby Wheels (which are also hard to find)

Jeff, lucky you, those wheels will look awesome!

CCW's, Fikse, Forgeline, HRE, they all look great, but incredibly pricey! It's find of funny that the CCW classic's start looking like a bargain at $2400 a set!
