C6 brakes behind WS6 rims...

[Widetracker]

Will they fit? I'd like to use the ATS spindles with C6 brakes on stock 17 inch WS6 rims in a 69 Firebird. Looks from another thread that there will problems with the inner fender, but for now I just want to know if the wheel will clear the brakes. I could use the Corvette rims to clear but don't won't to go to 18s if I don't have to.

Thanks!

Yes, they should fit. All of the 17" F-body wheels from 1996+ fit over the C5/C6 brakes without any issues to the best of my knowledge. The C5 and C6 calipers are interchangeable with respect to fitment.

Thanks Tobin! I very well may give KORE3 the business when I get to brakes because of the great reputation you have built on this site.

kore3 is great and parts are very nice but are they the z51 rotors? just thought i would ask

I assumed "C6" meant the base level C6 Corvette with 325mm front rotors. If you are thinking about stepping up to the C6 Z51 package, you'll more than likely need to go with 18" wheels for clearance reasons. In either event, you can download fitment templates for all of our applications from the Tech page on our website and verify fitment for yourself.

The rears are a different story though, as the 13" C6 Z51 rear setup will squeeze inside of many 17" wheels without issues.

I meant the base c6 brakes so your advise was helpful.
