Orange,

With the v6 brakes are there more options like the 16 inch welds?

The CCW Classic 16x10 will fit on the rear with V6 brakes.

My guess is OE wheels. They're 18x10.5" Z06's (+56 offset) I bought off a local f-body board. They clear the brembo's but rub the inner fender well. I have some 1/4" spacers to try out. If I'm not mistaken BMR ran the same set-up on their 2010.

does anyone know about the billet specialties 17"? i know they offered them for the F body with a different style dish because of the brakes. i Really like the look of the street lites and have the 15s on my F body and wanted to run the 17s on my 2011 SS

The only way would be to run V6 brakes. Billet specialties hasn't offered a 5th gen specific drag wheel.

I guess its not considered a "drag Wheel" but they have about 8 or so sportier style wheels specific to the 5th gen without brake mod but yea your right nothing in like a 17" drag wheel.

I still don't think there is a 17" wheel out there that will clear brembo's other than CCW or bogart drag wheels.
