I would not be surprised if a CCW 17" skinny would fit.

Here is a pic of the clearance of my 12" LS1 brakes, I could fit my fist between the caliper and the wheel, lots of clearance between the outside of the caliper too.



Good looking rims too.

No problem, but unfortunately I have no offset specs. I bought them from a local Vette owner.

The fronts are a 17 x 4 and the rears are 16 x 10. I do have to run a 3/8 spacer on the rear and nothing on the fronts. I also have the fenders rolled and bump stops moved in the rear.

Tire wise I have M&H 185/55R 17s, the rears are 315/45R 16.

As mentioned, I did roll the fenders, moved the bumpstops inward and massaged with a big hammer.

I did not want to give up the bump stops so I cut them off, made new mounts and a gusset, then weled her up and put a fresh coat of under coating to make it look stock.

great! thanks for the pics. this will for sure help out. are you lowered much in the rear? im curious because when the rear end drops down on a hard launch if the inside of the tire will touch anything or because of the bump stop relocation everything is like factory? sorry if these questions seem repetative.
