If the backspace is the same as the 17x 9.5 rim they should work without any problems.
I didnt know they made anything in the ZR1 style in anything other than 16 or 17 inch diameters :confused:

I believe Bseery has 17 x 9.5 sawblades on an 80, and there is another 69 silver vette (mind block on the name-too many Mooseheads tonight) running ZR1 style rims with 17 x 9.5 front/rear but Im not sure about what offsets.
18s will fit just as easily as 17s or 16s or 15s as long as you get close to the magical 4 inch back space with the adapters. Just do the math and you'll be all right.
Do an archive search on wheels or rims or adapters and you'll find what your looking for.

Yep -- 9.5 wides will fit just fine. Just a matter of getting the backspacing correct.
I would guess that up to a 20" diameter would fit, as long as you dont get past about 28 inches total diameter on the tire/whell combo.
