I have a set of 17x9.5 and 17x11 in satin painted silver OEM from a 1991 ZR-1. Little curb rash.

There never were OE/GM 17 X 8 ZR-1 'style' wheels produced. If you wanted 8 1/2" then they would have been on '96 cars only, a CE with base suspension would have silver on the front and a '96 GS 'vert would have 8 1/2" in black on the fronts. I do believe I may have a pair of 8 1/2" silver OE/GM wheels but I would need to look. I can't look until probably Saturday.

You may want to clarify what year/years you are looking for. I don't think the ZR-1 ever came with an 8 or 8.5 wheel, Some 90-94 standard Corvettes had an 8.5 wheel.

Thank you, I was incorrect. The correct size is 17x9.5 not 8.5.

Can anybody tell me how much offset the 8.5 rims have?
The 9.5 have 56 mm.

Hello Sam!

The 8 1/2" wheels have the same 56mm offset, the back-spacing decreases to a dimension near 6.9" from the 7.4" generally accepted as correct for the 9 1/2" wheel.

So you're actually wanting a set of correct spec'd GM/OE wheels for a ZR-1. Is that correct?
