The 9" wide rims have a 27 offset which quite a bit more aggressive than the stock rims, which means they will stick out further, which means they should have more concave than stock....which sounds awesome to me

If I miss anything, please let me know so that I may correct it.

Also i think the oem ZL1 rims are less concave in the front. So would this be the same way?

Doug, can you give us an insight on this matter?
Sorry for the late reply, I reached my “bump limit” yesterday before I made a single post - go figure.

To answer the “concavity question” I placed a straight edge from one lip of a wheel to the other. I then measured the distance from the straight edge to the center of the wheel (see attached picture). The results are:

OE ZL1 20x11 – 2.1/2”
FR Style 41 20x11 – 21/2”
FR Style 41 20x10 – 2 3/8”
FR Style 41 20x9 – 2 1/4”

As you can see there is ¼ inch difference in the (concavity) between the 20x11 and 20x9. Visually it is not very noticeable to me.

What I said to one person who I remember asking about the “concavity” is that there would not be much of a difference across the sizes.

Hope this helps.
