You will need 18" wheels minimum for CTS V brakes.
For the C5 brakes
From our research we have found the following wheels will NOT clear with the conversion kit, they may clear with the correct wheel spacers:
1. Enkei Win- 17” x 9.5”
2. 93-94 SLP Firehawk wheel- 17” x 9”
3. Borbet Type T- 17” x 9.5”
4. Forgeline RS Reverse Rim
5. Torque Thrust II

Yeah it's a 99 hawk and i don't want to change the wheels just for brakes. I like to keep the stock appearance as much as possible. So it looks like an aftermarket brembo or bear kit is the way to go huh? I know the porsche kit fits thats why i was wondering about the CTS-V ones.
