Diameter is 13.4" for the Z51 rotors, not sure on the other measurments.

Check out www.centricparts.com for the exact dimensions of the rotor, just put in a Z51 Corvette as the vehicle application.

Will these 13.40" setup fit under 17" wheels. 14" rotors will not fit under 17".

Depends on your wheel design. They would not fit under my 17" wheels that I had, but that doesn't mean they won't fit under all of them.

Only way to find out it tofigure out the total diameter of rotor and caliper together vs. the inner diameter of your wheel.

What wheels did you have? I'm wondering if they would fit under c5 zo6 motorsports before I buy the rotors and PAB bracket. You would by anychance know how much further the caliper stuck out over the regular c5 rotors? I could measure how much clearance there is between my moms vette brakes and wheels ( she has the same ones as me)

i didnt understand your question? i got an 2006 impala ss and currently swaping over to camaro ss 4 pistons and looking for a rotor. the camaro ss rotor compared to the vette c6 z51 rotor is about half an inch off in diameter and about 10 mm's in the hat height.. idk if that helps but if you can rephrase your question il see if i can help.

Have you checked out the C6 Z06 rotors?? They are 14" diameter, the bolt pattern works on the W-bodys (Impala, Grand Prix), and the hat offset should be the same or close to stock.

Heres the hard facts:

Front brakes from a 98-02 Camaro bolt directly onto W-bodys without any modifications (besides enlarging the caliper bracket bolt holes). Rotors from a C6 Z06 and 4 piston Brembo calipers from a CTS-V bolt directly onto any 98-02 F-body without any modifications. This should mean that the C6 Z06 rotors and CTS-V or '10 Camaro 4 piston calipers should bolt directly onto your Impala with little to no modification needed, except maybe wheel spacers. Fixed calipers require a lot of wheel spoke clearance, which is why wheel spacers may be needed.
