      C5 brakes with year one snowflakes?

      I have looked through dozens of posts and cant find a definite answer on this. Do the 17" cast snowflakes clear c5 c6 brake setups? I bought the wheels and am just waiting on the back two to get widened and returned. I would like to start brake shopping but want to make sure they will fit. This seems like the way to go for big brakes on small budget!

      They should work, they had a bit more room for brakes than my V45s had and they fit C5 brakes, needing just an 1/8" spacer to provide a little breathing room.

      Did they need any spacers or anything? What setup did you use? Thanks

      The snowflakes have a ton of clearance. C5's are no issue.

      What did you do for wheel studs and lug nuts? Were you able to fit 1/2-20 studs and lug nuts in the bolt circle of those rims without any problems?
