Unless you have a problem about going 180mph on a re-welded wheel, the widened ones are the way to go IMHO.
A number of owners have widened their stock 11 inch ZR-1 rear wheels to 12 inches to make the wide 335x35 tires look just right. It looks great. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

![]() But I could use the stock wheels for that. But it does seem the smarter option to widen the wheels. Not as if there is a shortage of the regular wheels available. Thanks!

Weird? Check the BB Wheels website. It has a full paragraph promotion for 335x35x17 tires from a number of companies.
Thought it had to be BS...called....it is. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

If you want to widen or narrow your rims, I used Weldcraft Wheels inc.
13111 Newburgh Rd. Livonia, MI 48150 phone 734-779-1303 web ( www.weldcraftwheels.com ). I had my front 1990 rims narrowed from 9.5 in to 6 in for drag racing Had them done on 6/1/2012. I drive year round with them and at the track. best mph 120 John |

Erik- I was actually kidding about the 180mph. If they are trued and balanced there is no reason they would be a problem at top end.
John- That is a 90 ZR-1 right? How much weight did you lose when you put the skinnies on? There was a white/black automatic Z here in Florida that had skinny front wheels. Is yours the one? What are your mods and best ETs if you don?t mind me asking? Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

Bob,
that would be me 1990 140xxx miles. 368 SGC stage one cams trans 4l8OE converter by FTI 11.54 @ 120 1.61 60ft Qa1 single stage shocks. pic taken in March 2017 at Orlando speed world. when i had the rims narrowed i did not weight the rims. I believe the stock front rims without tires would be about 34-37 lbs. Haven run the car (at track) for about 2 years. |

One option would do to have an insert made that bolts to the inside of the wheel and bolt to cap to that. Machine work would have to be done to the wheels as well.
