Quick question. What size wheels do you need for the C5 brake upgrade on a F-body. I searched quick and could not find a general answer.
Thanks

Hello
Below are the specs and a link to show you what we have experienced with certain wheels that don't fit for the C5 Brake Kit. And other info that may be helpful to you as well!

Like others mentioned wheel diameter is a factor when looking at the C-5 brakes. The other factor is what is called "caliper overhang" this refers to how far the caliper protrudes from the wheel mounting surface.

We offer a bracket for the relocation kit if you haven't already purchased one.

The adapter bracket can be found HERE

I attached an image of the C5 caliper setup to give you some dimensions to work off of.
