Post by: Jethro on February 04, 2008, 06:24:17 PM

Hi,

I have a 1988 C4 with 17 x 9.5 fitted F & R. Wondering if I can fit a later set of ZR1 type rims 17 x 9.5 Fronts & 17 x 11  Rears? IF so, anyone know where I can get a chrome set at a reasonable price? pic's wound be greatly appreciated !

Thanks Jeff

17x11 polished ZR-1 wheels with 315/35/17 are fitted to the back of my 86 without any problem.

On the 88 you just use the 50mm offset version as fitted to the GS. (As seen in VOs' thread)

You can get the aftermarket ZR1 wheels in 11 inch to fit you just have to get the right offset. If memory servs me i think its +56 for the 11inch rears on the 88 to 96
As for the 86 they have  a narrower wheel track in the rear and thats why they fit the 87 and earlier. 88 to 96 were different.
