17x11 ZR1's on their way, what about these tires?

Re: 17x11 ZR1's on their way, what about these tires?

You should run a 17x9.5 with a +54mm on the fronts and a 17x11 with a +36mm on the rears and it will work with no mods the only thing you may have to do is trim the end of the front axle

36mm will require spacers. You want the 50mm 17x11 wheels.

The 56mm front/50mm rear offsets will bolt right up. The 38/36 mm offsets will require adapters.

thats news to me about the 36mm offset needing spacers because i have that offset on the rear of my ty and i have no problem they both may work but if anything the 50mm may need a spacer because it will be closer to the frame thats what a higher offset will do

They look to me like they would hydroplane in a heartbeat.

Notice it shows 50mm, not 36mm in that link for the 17x11. I have 50mm and no frame rubbing. Seams to tuck in nicely and not stick out. Do you have pics of your 36mm 17x11 from the back? I think you have to run a spacer if you do the 9.5" wheels, not the 11" so they match the fronts. Sorry, my bad.

Had the tires in the water, and no hydroplane. Still need to get some pics posted.

Another link where others suggested 50mm

YEA CHECK THE LINK ON THE BOTTOM OF MY SIGNATURE; THEN THAT MEANS THEY BOTH WORK I WENT WITH THE 36 SO THAT THEY WOULD FILL OUT THE EDGE OF THE FENDER AND MATCH UP WITH WHERE THE FRONTS SIT.; WHY RUN 9.5 ALL THE WAY AROUND ? LETS GO AS WIDE AS WE ALL CAN AND LETS KILL ALL THOSE VETTES MUSTANGS AND CAMAROS OUT THERE. :tup: DO YOU HAVE PICS OF YOURS WITH THE 50 MM ???? ID LIKE TO SEE HOW THAT LOOKS ALSO ??

I'm doing my rear springs now so no pics until I get the new springs back on. Hopefully next week.
