Don’t believe everything you read in those corvette books
They are written by yanks and they tend to embellish some what .

Uncle Doug ZR1s had 11 inch rear wheels 315x35x17 inch tyres and yes that is a lot of tyre for a 9.5 rim. Joys 89 had 9.5 front and 11 rear ZR1 rims .

Vettech:
I think that's what I said.

But of course there is nothing stopping you fitting the 11"s. There is room.

I only raised the conversation because I'll be up for rears very soon unless somebody in Qld offers me a good price.

Upon Googling, I cant see much in the way of 315's (on 17 rims) and since now I've established the rears are 9.5', there are plenty of 275's around and at good prices for 17" rims..

Maybe get them cleaned, polished, sealed, new rubber in the one go, along with some Gabriel gas shockies.

Now if I can just win Lotto........

sabre:
Don't forget ZR1 is wide body with about1.5" more room under the guards. I'm running 315s on 10.5" Simmons rims. I changed to Kumho and had to add 5mm spacers because the shoulder was slightly squarer and foulded the inner guards when I had a load. Offset is critical on the standard body.
