97 ss zr1 wheel questions
What Is the width of the factory 97ss zr1 wheels? Also will a 315 35 17 drag radials fit in the stock 97 ss with the zr1 wheels and fit without clearance issues. |
Re: 97 ss zr1 wheel questions
Stock wheel on an SS coupe is 17 x 9.0 50mm offset.
It is a ZR1 style" wheel, but is different than the Corvette ZR1 wheel, which is 17 x 9.5 56mm offset in the front, and 17 x 11.0 36mm offset in the back. The best wheel for the 315/35-17 tire is the 11.0 wide wheel. There are ZR1/Grand Sport 17 x 11.0 50mm replicas that fit the 4th Gen F-Body, with very minor fender modifications. A 315/35-17 on a 9.0 wide wheel in most cases does not meet the tire manucaturer's specs. Tire will look bulged out from the rim. But a lot of people used to squeeze older Nitto 315 DR's on 9.0/9.5 wheels, because the Nittos were actually undersized for a 315 tire. The current Nitto NT05R 315 requires a wheel width of 10.5 to 12.0 according to Nitto. See post #9 in this sticky thread: https://www.camaroz28.com/forums/whe...topics-312442/ |

See post #9 in this sticky thread: https://www.camaroz28.com/forums/whe...topics-312442/ I know this is an older thread but, are the Nitto's still a smaller 315? I would like to find the "smallest" streetable 315... Looking specifically at the NT05 vs. the NT555 G2 or ???? Thanks |
