17x11 Sawblades-Some Questions

[92TripleBlack]

Does anyone have any experience with the 17x 11 sawblades? Are they worth buying or should I just go to aftermarket for all 4 wheels? What year/model if any had these rims?Early ZR-1s? Will they stick out of my rear fenders of my '92 with 315s on them? Where can I get some cheap? I found them here for $445+ each. http://store.yahoo.com/corvettes/corc419wheel3.html They supposedly were on or available for 91-93, and the 93 has the 40th anniversary center caps I think. 92TripleBlack

They were on 91-92 (painted), & 93 (polished) ZR1s.

They will stick out WAY beyond your fender with the ZR1 offsets. The 96 Grand Sport rims with their offsets stick out (hence the flares) and the ZR1s would stick out more.

Thanks Illini Steve. Does anyone make spacers or anything so they will fit or is it a lost cause. If so, I'm looking at AFS zr-1 style with the proper offset at $1100 a set for polished. I would have liked to keep the original sawtooth look but not enough not to get 315s in the rear.

Spacers won't work, the spacers will just push the rim farther out of the wheel well. Just bit the bullet and get the gs flares

Just so you have the info to use ......my wheels are 17x9.5x56 front w/285 tires and 17x11x50 (50 is Grandsport off-set) rear with 315 tires...... They stick out 7/8" from top off body...

ZR1 off-set will make tires stick "way out" , ZR1 "bodies" are 3" wider than normal C4.....

I think http://www.exoticmuscle.com/ sold a kit to narrow the rear for real ZR1 wheels otherwise go with GS offset wheels.
