I got 2 questions
Anyone ever put these on their car with RPM 505 rims? I think the offset is 38. Look like they should work.
And
Does anyone know where i can get the line that connects one side of the caliper to the other? I can get them from my work for 95 bucks a caliper but it doesn't look like it comes with that line?

Heres the thing tripping me up... why does the wheel offset matter for caliper clearance? After all offset is the distance from the wheel flange to the wheel centerline. Is it that a lot of the cheaper wheels out there use the same casting for both with the only difference being how much the wheel flange is ground down. Giving say a 40mm offset wheel a greater distance from wheel flange to the back of the spoke than a 56mm offset of the same design? This of course is a hypothetical in positive offset measurements.

the correct spacer for CTS-V calipers and 17" wheels changes depending on what wheel you are running due to backspace and spoke clearance along with inner diameter of the rim near depth of caliper

So I ordered some duralast z06 rotors from Autozone because they have the best deal and they actually give me a military discount unlike everyone else. Only problem I am having is they say they aren't directional but the fins are curved. When I asked them they showed only one part number for both sides, does this make any sense to anyone?
Also I got the rotors for the J55 brake option not the J56, not 100% sure on the difference.

Just got my calipers in... so how about removing the "V" design? Looks like its in the clear coat but I think its powdercoat I was going to wetsand and rebuff but not if its under the clear coat.

Installed on 17 x 9.5 C5 Deep Dish Oewheelsllc.com with a 20mm hubcentric spacer. Can be done with a 15mm but I didn't have to grind as much with the 20mm as the wheel tapers. Just in case anyone was wondering like I was when doing research they did fit.

not really needed....
You don't need the 6-pots for performance, in fact the CTS-V's may be better. Also, I believe the 6-pot pads can be much more expensive!
So, it comes down to looks.. Me, I went with CTS-V's...
