Brembo's behind C5 Z06 wheels
I purchased the Camaro SS Brembo's and rotors. Currently I am running a staggered setup. So I will need to purchase 18" wheels for up front, wondering if anyone else has done this, and what size spacer you needed to clear the calipers?

You can run 17's up front with CTS-V calipers not sure about SS calipers, with the CTS-V's you will have to grind down the caliper's to clear inside the rim and obtain enough room with a spacer to clear the spokes of your rim, see thread F-Body CTS-V Calipers 14" Rotors and 17" Wheels

they will not clear without grinding as far as i know. I personally have done the grinding so they would fit and you cant see where you ground the caliper with the wheel's mounted

not sure. but i can say i had pleanty of room to spare with the 15mm spacer. i could have probably gotten away w/ 10mm. not sure if that helps. i'm sure the 15mm spacer is all u need to be honest.
