Default Looking for photos of C4 with ZR1 sawblades

I would like to see any pictures you may have of a C4 with the ZR1 (36mm) offset sawblades. I have the 50 mm A-molds on right now and I have acquired a set of the sawblades that are 36 mm and am trying to get an idea how much they stick out from the fender. Not sure if I may need to get the fender flairs in case they do.

Thanks

Here are some pictures of my 90 with rear OEM ZR1 wheels. I did the "Big Doggie" modification that moved each rear wheel in by about 1/2 inch. I have since lowered it some but don't have any recent pictures.

Look at this tread below and clink on the link that Aurora40 provided in the second post. It is an article that explains everything involved in the modification.

Do those have the 36 mm offset, which is the same as the ZR1 and Grand Sport or are they aftermarket wheels with the 50 mm offset. I have the 50 mm on mine already and they look pretty much like yours.

The Grand Sport wheels are 50 mm offset, not 36 mm.

If you bought aftermarket wheels for a non-ZR-1 C4, they are almost certainly 50mm. It would make no sense to buy ZR-1 rear sizes and offsets.

The only reason to do the rear end mod would be to run factory 11" rear wheels like sawblades or salad shooters.

Thanks I am far from being done with it. I will be posting pictures in the near future of the finished product.
