zr-1 knock offs

I need some advice on fitment. I found some after market zr-1 style rims near me that are used. they were taken off a T/A. common 17x9 frt, 17x11 rr. I allready checked for tire size and they are the same diameter. I am under the impression that I simply need an 1.25-1.5" spacer in the rear and thats it. is this correct? are they any issues with rubbing? where do I order spacers, summit? thanks in advance.

Just so your aware with 275s up front I had slight rubbing at full lock... had to grind a little off the a arms to solve that

I just don't turn the wheel all the way to the lock ;)

Also I wouldn't run two different types of tires, but that's just my opinion

maybe I'd be better off with 17x9.5's all the way around and running spacers? I'm just more confused. the rims I'm looking at were black with polished lips and $550 with tires also the're local!

thats not gonna solve the problem of rubbing in the front :roll:

the 17'x11's are NO ISSUE bolting up or fitting.

the 17x9.5's will rub on max turn, but not during normal driving. Either dont max out your turns, modify the A-Arms, or find yourself a pair of 17x8's that match the rears.

I agree i'd go with the 17x11's in the back no issues with that plus tires tend to be cheaper for them the the 17x9.5's
