Those wheels are gonna look great. What did you paint your inner fender plastic piece with?

Wow, nice.

I just got CTS-V calipers in I ordered from my dealership today.
I was going to go 18s, but might go 17s since they fit.

Did you use stock brake lines? Did the stock caliper bracket bolts not fit?

You say 5th gen front wheels but I thought the lug pattern was different, I know it uses 14mm studs at least.

Gorgeous car. One of the cleanest street/strip camaros I have seen. Only thing I don't care for is the tinted head/tail lights. But to each their own!

I would ask why you need bigger brakes if you're running skinny tires, but with all those mods I can see its just another item on the bucket list

Heat is the main reason. I have been very impressed with them on my 5th gen on how well they hold up to high speed stops.

You think it'll fit under your 17s?

idk, only one way to find out. i am gonna order the calipers, and install them in place with no rotors (not required for fitment) and see where to go from there.

my only issue is that i my wheels when they were ballanced, have the stick on weighs right on the inside lip of the wheels, so they will need to be re-balanced cause i will be removing the stick on weights.
