What does the 53mm offset ZR1 look like?

Anyone have pics of a 53mm offset ZR1 on their car? I don't want the wheels to stick out at all or sit funny...

Not sure..... AFS make replicas in:

17x9.5" 56mm
17x9.5" 38mm
17x11" 50mm
17x11" 36.5mm

Which width are you talking about?

Hmmm..... The site I was looking at said it had 17x9.5 replicas, and it said 53mm offset. I wasn't sure if that sounded right.


Screw it... I give up trying to find deals. :lol:


What is the standard 17x9.5 ZR1 that came on the Camaro SS? That's how I want mine. 38mm, right?

The Camaro SS did not have a 17x9.5" wheel.... they were only 17x9" and had a 50mm offset.

From what I have seen, a 9.5" wide wheel will fit best with an offset in the range of 45-56mm. The cars I've seen with 35mm and 38mm offsets have the tires right at the edge of the wheel opening, or even slightly outside. That leaves your 1/4-panels open to sandblasting from all the crap coming off the wheels. 45mm tucks them in very slightly, and 56mm still looks OK, in my opinion. But its strictly a matter of which "look" you like.

Oh wow... I never realized that. But now that you mention it, it sounds familiar and I do think I remember seeing that it was only 17x9.

What is the offset in the 17x9.5" SLP ZR1/BFG wheel and tire package that everyone sells? Happen to know or have a guess? Here's hoping it's 45mm... I guess I should call and hope they have someone that can tell me. :)

I want them to tuck, I don't like when they're flush with the wheel opening... It doesn't look quite right IMO.

Hey Fred, which offset does this *look* like to you?

That's one of my friends' cars... But I can't ask him what he bought because he's on deployment. I don't think he purposely went looking for any particular offset, he just bought these from some company that was selling on eBay knowing that they'd 'work' on a Camaro.

Whatever those look like, that's the way I'd like mine to sit.

Looks sort of stock.

This is a 49mm:

56mm will move them in a shade over 1/4"
