Let me know guys! Also, if the wheels are no good or the offset too off, what do you suggest?

Iv ran this tire (see the car in sig). But unless you are either a 6 speed deep in the 11s or a auto in the bottom 10s Its extreme..

I manage to hit high 11s on the stock tires, by extreme you mean what exactly? Thanks for the help

didn't think 17's would fit on the rear on the zl1

It would depend on the offsets, as the rear Brembos are the same.

Most people would also suggest skinnies in front when you've got slicks on the back. Just something else to think about if you're considering radials vs slicks

ZL1 rears are 45 offset I believe ? and these corvette 17s are 56mm

I believe you'll need a spacer to run those rims, or V6 brakes. Or you could get a set of Bogarts, Welds or Racestars which I think all work with stock brakes.
