Repro GNX wheel & big brakes
Does anyone know if a repro GNX wheel (Kirban, G-bodyparts.com) will allow 12" or 13" front brakes on a G-body? Thanks!

I have checked the GTA wheel (I believe it is the same as the GNX wheel ) and it doesn't fit the C5 brake setup. The rotor barely clears the wheel dropwell, caliper isn't even close to clearing. 12" setup should be okay, depending on the calipers used.

I can fit a 16 Enkei that looks like a GNX wheel over my 13 Baer fronts. It clears, but not by much.

They should fit 12" brakes just fine, the TTAs have 12" brakes on the front from the factory using the 16" GTA wheels. 13" will probably be pushing it for clearance, there isn't much with the 12" to start with.
