I have had the brakes for awhile but have not bought the wheels yet. I managed to get one to fit under the 17" ZR1's that are on the car but did not like how far out i had to space the wheel.

Will 14" rotors off a gen 1 CTS-V work? Or do they have to be the C6Z rotors? I have a pair of gen 1 V rotors I got for free and can resurface them myself at work... Just would like to know if they are direct bolt on like the Vette rotors?

Why use the 2010 Camaro SS rotors instead of the Z06 rotors?
-So that the pad contact area is correct for the caliper pad combination, unlike the Z06 rotors where there is a substantial difference and over time will create a chamfer on the pads inner edge . Ultimately you are loosing braking performance since less pad is actually contacting the rotor surface.
-Spacer or washers for caliper are not needed. The caliper is perfectly centered over the rotor. This will also help with not needing a wheel spacer in some cases since the caliper is farther away from the wheel spokes. Still no guarantee as there are so many wheel back space options.
Disadvantages:
-You will have to have the center of the rotor that goes over the hub machined out to fit correctly. I took a stock rotor along with 2010 rotors to the machine shop and had them match the bore. I was only charged $20 for the pair.
-Lug pattern does not match perfectly but fit without any issues on stock setup. Still quite a bit of clearance but you may have problems if you went to a thicker over sized lug. Rotor hub thickness was the same as the stock rotors so no need to change lug length unless needed for spacer.

Are the CTS-V and 5th gen Brembos the same Brembos that come on a lot of other cars nowadays? Reason being is in addition to the free gen 5 rotors I also got some free brake pads for a 2013 Infiniti G37. The calipers APPEAR to be the same as what the Vs, and 5th gens have, along with a ton of other cars that I'm seeing the 4 piston Brembo/14" rotors on lately. So do you guys think the pads will work with CTS-V calipers? If they are the same caliper then they should right?
