I had a set if my 17" Bogarts on Jannetty's ZL1 last sept. They fit perfect and the e brake cable didn't need to be tied back.

Hi all,
First post here. 2013 Zl1 going to the builder. Need to lose the 20” on the rear if I have any hope of getting some grip. 17”bmr LCA kit being installed. Does anybody have a working setup 17” wheel game happening? I’d really appreciate some recommendations on this. Figure I’ll go 10-12” wide, but no idea on offsets/backspace. And tire suggestions are welcome too.

Thank you in advance for any assistance/suggestions
Scott

I have 17” Ventura welds on my 2015 ZL1. Stock LCA but make sure to zip tie your emergency brake back. Mine rubbed against my wheel and caused some damage. They will fit but be careful. I was wondering what size I would need for my fronts. Anyone running Ventura welds on the front of their ZL1? I don’t want skinnies tho and would like to drive it on the street. Any info would be great.

650whp / 610tq 11.1 quarter mile. Trying to hit 10s ��

I have 17" welds on my zl1 and I can't balance them because the magnets hit the caliper. Anyone have any luck with this? It vibrates really bad and I really want to get them balanced. I heard some grind down the calipers, is that good or stay away from that? Worst case I'll just sell the 17s and go 18s. I want to try to avoid that though. Any help is appreciated!

Most doing that conversion also change out calipers. Either the V6 model ones or aftermarket.
