Pics of 18" ZR-1 wheels on a Z28.

Finally got around to putting up some pics I took earlier this year of my 18" x9.5" ZR-1 wheels on my Red '95 Z28. I used to have the standard 17" ZR-1 wheels and love these new 18" ones!

They look really good. But now you know that you need to upgrade those tiny front brakes.

Ya, those front brakes look a little dwarfed now . I am going to upgrade to some Baer brakes next year to fill in the wheels and have better stopping power.

Not bad for primer gray wheels. Inside joke, I'm a good friend of Jeff and these wheels do look great on his ride. NASTY

Wheels look good, and also a good choice on the tires.

Do you have any info on the wheel widths, offsets and tire sizes that we can add to the data base for the wheel FAQ that we are trying to "sticky" at the top of the page?

So far I've asked several people to share this info so that we can build a guide to wheel selection, but so far no one has taken the time to provide the data.

TIA!!

Awesome wheels, where did you pick them up at. I really want to get a set of zr-1s for my car, but at a reasonable cost, hopefully.

Re: Pics of 18" ZR-1 wheels on a Z28.

I purchased these rims off a place from ebay called "The Wheel Factory" this past winter. I have since looked for them on ebay and don't think they are around anymore or they have switched names. Here is a link for another company who sells these rims though. http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com...s/camaro.shtml. The 18" version of the ZR1's are at the very bottom of the page on the left.

Injuneer, Here are the specs on the wheels I bought.
18" x 9.5" ZR1 wheel
58mm offset
5" x 4.75" lug diameter

Tires-
Front BFGoodrich G-Force KD 275/40/18
Rear BFGoodrich G-Force drag radial 295/35/18

I had to do a little massaging of the inner wheelwell to insure that the rear tires would not rub since my car is lowered with Eibach pro-kit springs. Hope this info helps you guys out and thanks for great comments on my car!!!
