View Full Version : Halfbreed update wheels and brakes
Finally got the brakes mounted up used kore3 hybrid brackets for the 355mm rotors very well made product by the way . Installed ls1 rear brakes with drilled rotors . Got 19" wheels 8.5 front 9.5 rear with 20mm offset installed 1/2x20 screw in wheel studs . I am still bending tubing and doing the flares . I am doing bubble flare and standard so i can use any off the shelf brake hose for camaro and vette . Its a lot of work but the old brake tubing was rusted and aged so its worth it . Spent all day in the driveway with a pressure washer cleaning the underneath of the car . Used degreaser and jasco rust convertor that stuff works great used por 15 on the entire underside of car . Its not a show car just a clean daily driver . I have been waiting 2 weeks on my sc&c stage 2 plus kit .

What brand of wheels are those? They look great with those brakes sitting behind them.
Not sure about wheel brand bought them from a guy that had got them for his bmw 5 series . They fit the wheelwells perfect . I measured the pattern between gm and bmw the differnce is less than the tip of a pencil divided by 2 i used hub centric rings to center them 70.5 to 74.1 mm and used 1/2 x20 screw in arp studs .
Next step is hyperco springs front 5x12 700lbs with spacer and rear 5.5 x11 175lbs with pigtail on one end a spacer on other and hellwig pro touring rear sway bar .
Its in mock up phase still .
