Default C6 Z06 Brake Upgrade..Pics

Just got done installing the Z06 front brake rotors and calipers. It wasn't that bad of a job at all. The only thing is I had to use 1/2 spacer so my wheels would clear, and had to get longer wheel studs. It looks a lot better. Sorry for the crappy pics, I took them with my phone.

Whats the size and back spacing of the CCWs?

What backspacing would you need to clear them without spacers?

The wheels in the front are 19x10, I really don't know what the backspacing is, I orderd them from CCW and told them what kind of car I had they made them to fit the car.

looks like his wheels are turned, and with the spacers, moves the wheel farther.

A little OT, but did you have to roll the fenders/BFH for the 19's?? Looks awesome.

I have Hotchkis springs on the car and thats it, but I do have an iron block so that is why the front sits a little lower.
