Which Wheels fit(ZR1)

[vette40509]

Ok, here is my question after trying to search(and not being that good at it). I would like to put ZR1 5 spoke wheels on my 93 Typhoon. I would like to use 17x9.5 and 17x11's. What offsets do I need. Would tire sizes of 275 and 315 fit without much hassle?? I hear something about modifying front control arms to make them fit?? Thanks for any help!! Also would ZR1 type/size sawblades work as well??

The following is courtesy of V:

There is a turning stop on the front of each lower A-arm. You need to add approx. 1/4" - 1/2" of metal to each stop. Welding is an option. However, I decided to drill a hole in each stop and thread in a heavy duty bolt (threadlock optional). IMO, this is a much better mod. It's easy to adjust, no hassles aligning the "rat bite" just right, no worries of removing too little/too much metal, much cleaner looks and best of all, it's easily returned to stock. Yes, your turning radius becomes a little wider, but you'll barely notice it.

You'll also have to cut about 1/2" to 3/4" off the front axle on each side for the wheel center caps to snap into place.
