They have a 13" and a 14". They just said they couldn't confirm any big brake kit will fit without a spacer

My understanding is you need around 40mm offset to clear big calipers. Most people have been running 10-15mm spacers on stockish 56 offsets to clear Brembo calipers. 14" rotors will clear an 18" rim.

Cheapskate alternative: C6 Z51 13.4" and big 6P calipers will clear some 17" wheels. I've tested with C4 sawblades and 4th gen camaro SS wheels - so I would think 18" C5 wheels would have no problem. Mind you, I have 2" spacers due to different backspace needs on a 2nd gen (4" to 5"), so the clearance between the mounting face of the wheel and the caliper will probably need checked.
