Default Will 17x9 FM5 Fikse's fit over C5 brake upgrade?

Pretty much what the title says. I wanted to order some FM5 Fikse wheels,..but I wanted to make sure they would fit over the C5 brake upgrade.

Anybody know if they would fit or not? I figured the should,...but I wanted to see if anyone on the forum has actually done it.

Thanks!

I wish I had a definite answer to this. The only information I can give you is that there was one board member at z28.com who said they had tried the conversion and the calipers hit the bolts on the inside of the fikse's. Supposedly speed specialty, or speed inc, or one of those websites who was selling the C5 conversion had a template available online that they recommended I download before attempting to be sure because they weren't sure when I called. I also have FM5's and have the brake brackets and have been holding off just to see if someone else would attempt it.

A buddy of mine has a ZO6 with 17x9 Fikse's in front. So yes they will fit.

Yeah, I thought they would because I've seen 17" Fikse's on Corvettes. So if they fit over the corvette's I figured the would be fine over the C5 conversion. But you can never be too sure.

Does anybody know where I could download a template?
