Default Has anyone tried ZR1-wheels on a C5

Looing for picts, not sure I'd ever do it, but was wondering if anyone had some pictures.

Default Re: Has anyone tried ZR1-wheels on a C5 (99Mongoose400SS)

Front wheels are no problem. The outer lip of the ZR-1 rear wheel on a C5 will stick out almost 1" more than the rear Z06 wheel:

ZR-1 rear wheel offset on the 11 x17 wheels is 38mm.
Z06 rear wheel offset on the 10.5 x 18 wheels is 58mm.

Relative to the position of the rear Z06 wheel:

[(11-10.5)/2 + (58-38)/25.4] = 1.037 inch out, outer wheel lip
[(58-38)/25.4 - (11-10.5)/2] = 0.537 inch out, inner wheel lip

You'd really need the Grand Sport rear 11x17 wheel with it's 50mm offset.

[(11-10.5)/2 + (58-50)/25.4] = 0.564 inch out, outer wheel lip
[58-50)/25.4 - (11-10.5)/2] = 0.064 inch out, inner wheel lip
