Default C6 rotors on a C5

I believe the C6 rotors are the same size as the stock C5 rotors, only better quality.

Has anybody put C6 rotors on a C5? Any issues?

They are specified as being the same size, but the C6 rotors are heavier with thicker cheeks (the outer surfaces). As long as you use the basic C6 version (not the Z51 or Z06), you should be just fine.

The ZO6 version can fit as well, but needs bigger wheels and more backspacing for those monsters. I have a set in the garage waiting to go on my car, but need 18" wheels first so they will fit!

I do know the calipers (C5 vs. C6) use the same attachment holes, so hopefully everything will be plug & play.

I have seen this done already on a vette.

You can bolt the C6 Z06 parts on, but you must use the Z06 calipers and rotors (and larger wheels) as a set.

The Z51 stuff will require that you use the Z51 PAB to clear the larger rotor, it will not bolt on with the stock stuff.

The standard C6 rotor is a heavier replacement rotor for a C5.
