What about if I have 17 inch rims they are the same ones as the z06 posted earlier. What size of rotor would I need to make it work?!

however, you can use the 6 piston CTS-V calipers on the 14 inch SS rotor.

I was told by the dealer that the 6 piston calipers are Chinese/taiwanese made.

Also, the way hydraulics works means that the slight offset of the rotor (not being centered between the caliper) won't cause the pads to wear unevenly. If the rotor Is flat, and the piston bores aren't warped, hydraulic pressure is applied evenly to the pistons. The pistons will have normal pressure being applied to the pads.

The 5g rotors is a solution to a problem that doesn't exists. If pads are wearing unevenly, there's an underlying cause, not offset.

The rotor bolt attaching it to the hub is pointless. That's something that foreign mfr's developed for the assembly line process. It serves no other purpose once the wheels are mounted. This bolt becomes a nuisance after the fact. Anyone and everyone who has ever done brake service on bolted/screwed rotors has cursed them due to the threads bein seized and the heads stripping out. As a result, these bolts are discarded upon the very first brake job.
Don't bother with this step.

the Z06 calipers are PBR and are, ill be kind, not that great. they like to go through seals on track days, arent that rigid, etc.

the CTS-V gen 2 calipers are Brembo and made in Italy

Flubyux2

that's right.. PBR. I couldn't recall the mfr. but yes, that's essentially the same thing ive heard too. so brembos are def the way to go. I was specifically referring to these z06 units.
the 2g-v brembos are a bit more than I choose to take on. the 1G-v brembos are more my speed... and at $130ish per, from my buddy at the dealer, seems like an amazing deal. especially since I paid $140ish for wilwoods on my Subaru... which are smaller pistons and only accommodate 13" rotors, not 14"

Those calipers are nice.....

they are. thats also a 17" wheel

MeanGreen

Do the 2010+ Camaro calipers and rotors fit on a 17" wheel, specifically a ZR1?

what are the specs of this wheel? Spacer or caliper grinding required?

Only with a spacer and a substantial a mound of caliper grinding.

Are the 18041878 calipers bolts needed with this mod?

Wnts2Go10O

17 x 9.5", no grinding, no spacer. the wheel was designed with the big brakes in mind. the wheel is a CTW-motorsports wheel. they are releasing a wheel for the 93-02 fbodies soon. it will fit everything but the absolute largest brake kits in the 17" barrel.

Also I have the 18 x 9.5 C5 Z06's what size spacer and studs would I need?

Hello all - been a long time since I checked in. Was not getting any notifications.

Anyways I am still really happy with the mod and have almost completely forgot about the mod because it works so well.

When I did the mod with the CTS-V calipers I reused the factory bolts with no issues. If you use the camaro ss ones you do need to get bigger bolts as well as drill out the spindle where the caliper would mount since the bolts are much larger.

Thanks for the info. Would any of the sponsors here offer the 5gen rotors already with the hub machined to fit on the 4th gen

I got your PM, it's been a while since I've been on here so I thought I would give everyone an update since it's been over 2 years.

Spacer size is dependent on your Z06 wheels offset. On my car I'm running 56+ offset. If your number is lower you can use a smaller spacer, or you may not need one at all. I originally ordered a 6mm spacer but it wasn't enough, so I then ordered an 8mm from Motorsport-tech. Lightweight custom spacer machined to match your hub and bolt pattern. I highly recommend them.

After that, I knew I had to purchase longer wheel studs. I went with these 2.5 inch long ARP wheel studs (http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...th-pack-of-5-/).

After I got the old studs out with a sledge hammer and got the new ones pressed in, I placed the new setup with the 8mm spacers and it worked like a charm. It will be close, but since these are fixed calipers the gap tolerance between the spoke and caliper are tighter then floating calipers.

Anyways, they work great. This setup along with stainless steel lines are wonderful. It's a complete night and day difference over stock. Not to mention it looks awesome. I have pictures in my photo album.

Thanks for the info.
I bought my calipers new and I know I need the pin kit thinking about going with the durastop pin kit as it's cheaper that the GM pin kit. Are the pad shims needed. I see that used caliper sets have these not see that on any of the part list here on the forum though.

Well I got all my parts in and go to test fit everything and my factory caliper bolt or a little to small they go right through. Does anyone know the bolt size?
