      Not sure on the fronts, but on the rear you just need 2 LH backing plates and calipers to work with the staggered shocks. No custom brackets needed.

      The front is what I was primarily concerned with, LS1 brackets would make 14" c6 rotors and '10 Camaro SS or the CTS-V Brembos a bolt on affair. I'm just being lazy, LOL, I could probably make brackets but I don't feel like pulling a spindle off the car.

      I would try Kore3 but the brackets are out there. IMO, I would start with the wheel you want and go from there. Currently I am trying to upgrade my car but want to retain my ARE wheels. The typical 13" C5 based set up won't fit my wheels. I am working with another vendor to hook me up with a hybrid 13" C4HD/C5 set up that we hope will fit within my wheels. I could see the same thing happening with a 14" C6 set up.

      My current wheels won't clear my new brakes. I plan on putting the whole thing together and measuring for new wheels. I'm ordering three piece wheels custom made for my application.
