I am new to all of this stuff, so bear with me. I have a genuine 2002 RS from SLP. It originally came with 16x8 ZR1 wheels. The original owner did away with them and I cannot locate them. I recently came across a set of very nice 17x9.5 ZR1s at an affordable price. These wheels were mounted on a 97 RS and the seller tells me I can mount them onto my 2002 with no problems. Is this true? Do I need spacers? Thanks for any and all help!

 

should fit just fine.

 

You, Sir... made my day! Thanks for the reply! I will move on to shopping for some tires!

 

heres some pictures Post pictures of your ZR1 wheels *Dont Quote Pics - LS1TECH

 

That link helps the imagination. I was just hoping that my 275/40/17s wouldn't be too much for the front. I'm going with those all the way around.

 

im using 245s and am doing my best to wear em out so i can go with something a little wider like a 265 or 275. 275 is pushing it so probly better do some research to see if they fit eh. lol. i know the 265s will and i think ive seen up to 285 but im thinking that was with mods.

 

I just called the guy I bought them from. He had them mounted on his 1997 RS with no mods needed. I would assume I can do the same with my 2002. I think I'm going to take a chance on it. The tire shop said they'll mount and balance them on Thursday. I'm anxious to see how they turn out.

 

yep 275 is about as wide as you can go on the front. heres some good info Wheel & Tire FAQ - General Topics - CamaroZ28.Com Message Board

 

That's a lot of good info. Thanks for the links! I'll throw some pictures on here when I get it all finished.

 

275/40/17 is FINE on front and back with NO mods -- I have them on my SS with SLP original wheels.
