[mikeith]

Ok so i think this CAN have the potential to turn into a sticky worthy thread. there are alot of threads asking will this look good on this etc. so this is a chance to both show off what you have aswell as inform others of what they can do to thiers.

things you need to post if you can:

- wheel size front/rear

- tire size front/rear

- make/model of tire

- make/model of wheel

- offset or backspacing

with that being said lets see what you got!

Intro 3 Piece - C6 corvette 19 front and 20 back

[daredvl22]

18x12 w 345 tires in rear and 17x8 w 255 45 in front.

First gen fan - can you provide more details on what you did to make that rear set up work? (IE) Mini tub obviously..DSE??? I really like the stance and overall look. What about back spacing, etc. Sweet ride!

[RYU]

i'll be able to contribute to this in about 2 weeks (hopefully sooner not later!)

I'd like to add though another parameter for BBKs. I'm finding myself searching for BBK friendly rims which are just more concave on the spokes normally or have the wheel face further out.

Big Brake Kit (BBK) = Yes or No?
If yes, which one = ??

My $0.02
--------------------
EDIT:

66 Malibu Chevelle, Roja Formula 7 in silver with polished lip. (These wheels are almost 10yrs old)

18x8 +0mm offset (after 1.5" spacer to clear bbk)
19x10 +8mm offset (after 1.75" spacer to clear bbk)

Big Brake Kit = C6 Z06

Nice setup! I'm going a similar route. Got any pics of how the front C6Z06 fits on an 18" wheel?

Awesom car(that posted better, sorry)

Finch and B-man.

Did you guys run into any problems with fitment of the wheels over the Z06 brakes?

My 18" O.Z wheels swallow up the Z06 brakes like they're nothing, tons of room between the spokes and the calipers. Not every 18" wheel design will fit over them, but mine were a slam-dunk.

Pic of the backside showing how the spoke shape curves outward and away from the calipers:



Up front the adapter moves the wheel out by a little more than one inch providing more caliper clearance, but even without the adapter they would easily clear the calipers.

Before buying my Z06 brakes I printed out the templates provided on the KORE3 website to check for adequate clearance.

Nice setup! I'm going a similar route. Got any pics of how the front C6Z06 fits on an 18" wheel?

Here's a pic with no calipers in place taken during the front suspension install (SPC control arms-ATS spindles), that's the best I can do for right now until the braking system is completed.
