      Backspacing with AFX spindles and C5 brakes

      Hi.

      I have tried searching the forums and was able to get a partial answer on this, but want to make sure.

      I have ordered a set of AFX spindles and C5 brakes for my 69 Camaro, and am planning on mounting a pair of 18x8.5 ET13 (roughly 5.25" backspacing) wheels. Will this work as it is or with a small spacer?

      Most posts reveal, that the AFX spindles does not change the track width, but is this also the case with C5 rotors mounted?

      Thanks,
      Jakob

      if the ats spindles dont change the track for your car, the only difference would be if the c5 stuff had a thicker rotor pad. if so it would be very little. call tyler at ats and confirm. he should know off the top of his head.

      i would be more concerned about those wheels fitting the c5 brake calipers. kore3.com has templates, but you may have already known that.
