Vader86 is right...

ZR-1 offset for the front is 56MM and for the rear is 36.5 MM

Our earlier 84-87's were 38MM all the way around. So, thats why us earlier guys can get away with putting an actual ZR-1 offset 11" rim on the rear of our cars. From 88-96 GM widened the track of the Corvette hence the need for more of an offset to keep the wheels tucked in the fenders :yesnod:

:cheers:
