Biggest Brakes for 17" Rim

[JMitch19]

I'm running 17's up front and 18's in the rear. I want to run 13" rear rotors to fill the opening better. I will be C6 Z51 brakes in the rear. The problem is the C6 Z51 fronts are 13 3/8" and I'm not sure if they will fit under my 17" budniks. If not I will run the 12.8" C5 front. If anyone could tell me for sure if C6 fronts will fit or not it would be a big help.

Thanks

I was looking at my 17's and wondering the same. I have Raceline GT. The valve stem is mounted behind the center and the reccess of the wheel is right where the caliper is, I was thinking that 12.8" might me tighy but maybe try one of the templates that are out there. If we knew the radius the the farthest point from the center of the wheel, that would work too. I will do some measuring and research and maybe solve this

Thanks for the reply. I also have hidden valve stems on my budniks. I'm going to print the templates from Kore3, and see how it look, but I think 12.8's are in my future.

Their is no straight answer. Not all 17" rims have the same clearance.I have C4 13" front brakes on mine and some of the 17" rims would not fit. One other thing I found out was not all rims are track rated so keep this in mined if you plan to track the car.
