3 sets of rims help me choose.

I narrowed it down to 3 sets. Two being the same just different sizes. First is 17x9.5 Torque Thrusts 2s. They have 46mm offset and 7 inches back space. Next is chrome 17x9.5 ZR1s with 56mm offset. And finally 16X8 chrome ZR1s with 55mm offset. If I get 17s I will get some 275/40 tires. Will the two sets of 17s I mentioned fit the wheel wells with 275/40 tires without any modifications? Also does anyone have any pics of a dark green 93-97 Z28 with any of these rims?

I would go with the chrome 17" SS rims myself, i think the TT2 only look good in BIG sizes and the SS rims in 16" just won't look right in my opinion, for a pic of 17" chrome SS wheels i have them on my link 17" SS rims

Wow! Your car is sharp man, I like it. Did you have to do any modicications to get them to fit with the 275/40s? Also who made your rims? A company called Detroit wheels has some in Jegs and if I decide on the ZR1s thats probably where I'll order them. Anybody ever bought from Detroit Wheels?

I actually got mine from America's Tire Company, and they are 275/40/17 and my car is lowered with Eibach Pro Kit. When i installed the wheels they were a little hard to get on the back hubs and i believe they had to grind some of the wheel off to fit around the hub but it was no big deal.
