Default 17" ZR1s on a 79 Corvette?

I've got the wheels (17" ZR1s with 275/40 BFG Comp TAs) and a 1979 Corvette. What can I do to make them come together?
Thanks in advance.

Kris

The first step is to determine what offset your wheels are, and what you need to fit the car, and then buy the adapters that are appropriate. You may try fitting the wheels to the car to see how far they are in, and measure that .

Another option is catalogs like Mid America sometime have guide in them that will tell you "to fit ??? wheel to ??? car, you need ??? spacer".

Good luck, sorry I couldn't be more help:cheers:

You'll need wheel adaptors to make them work. You can get high quality adaptors from www.vettebrakes.com

Do a search on their site on "wheel adaptors" and you should get this image to apper:



Hope this helps! :cheers:
