Default C5 brakes on F body with TT2's????

Has anybody done the C5 front brake conversion on an LS1 f-body and used 17x9.5 TT2's? Just wondering if anybody has gotten them to fit since the spokes on those wheels seem to curve in quite a bit. Not sure if the calipers will clear without hitting the wheel.

Thanks for any replies,
Ryan

We haven't personally tried them but customers have reported they do not clear. A spacer may work, I can't confirm though.

Hope that helps,
Ryan

tt2's require a spacer of at least 5/16" but good luck finding a hub-centric spacer of that size. You will need longer studs, I purchased 2.5" ARP wheel studs for my swap and a 1/2" PFADT wheel spacer. One good thing about using a spacer is that it can actually improve handling (if you care about that).
