Default Question on wheels w/brake kit

Brand new 2000 Trans Am WS6 owner here. I'm looking at getting the OE Performance 18x9.5 Corvette C6 Chrome wheels for my car. I also am looking at putting on some Power Stop drilled rotors, pads, and calipers (Mfr. #: KC1548-26). Will the Power Stop brake kit fit with the wheels?

Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide!

Looking at Nitto NT 555 Extreme Performance 275/40ZR-18 tires all around on those wheels. Any one have this setup on a 00 TA WS6? The offset on this wheel is 58 and the back spacing is 7.53. Will there need to be any mod's made or spacers added to make this good? Pic's if you have them would be appreciated. The car is not lowered currently. Thanks!

Hey Bison, welcome to LS1tech!

The biggest front brake kit for these cars, the Wilwood Superlight 6R kit with 14 inch rotors will fit in your 18 inch wheels.

Suffice to say, any kit smaller will also fit your wheels.
