OEM ZR1 or Grand Sport Corvette wheels are 17 x 9.5". Basically the same wheel, but with different offsets. The ZR1 wheels have a 37.5mm offset (not recoomended on a 4th Gen F-Body), and the Grand Sport version has a 56mm offset (recommended).

The OEM F-Body SS wheels are 17 x 9.0" with a 50mm offset. Sounds like this may be what you are looking at. They look very similar.

Recommended offset vs. wheel width is covered in the FAQ. A 9.0" or 9.5" wide wheel with a 54mm offset will not present any problems on a 4th Gen.
