The only way it will work is with the perfect set of wheels. No one ever tried the rears because we couldn't get past the fronts. I'll see if I can dig up the part numbers.
Edit: here are the part numbers 89047726 passenger front brake caliper, without pads. $116
89047227 driver front brake caliper, without pads. $116
calipers loaded
25750250 $175
25750249 $174
prices are a bit old I believe.

A rim with hub to spoke clearance great enough to accomodate the Brembos. Chances are it will have to be custom, but there might be something out there that works. It's hard to find someone with a caliper and spindle laying around with access to a large variety of wheels.
Off topic, but that's a nice set of LCAs you're selling. If I didn't just spend my extra cash on an oilpan, I probably would have bought them.

The fronts are a done deal. Nobody cares about the rears because the stock rear brakes are more than capable of doing their job.

I'm sure there are lots of wheels that will work. Especially with spacers. But as far as this bbk, and your typical off the shelf fbody wheels, it's a no go. No one ever tried multiple wheels (I tried a handfull). Did you ever try them (or measure) with your C6s? Or did I miss something?

Okay, that's what I though. For a minute there I though I was going crazy. I think because you have 19x10 is the reason you have room. I don't think the 18x9 c6s will work. I seem to remember measuring them. If I didn't, I can to be sure.

Ohhhh kyyyyy. ![Rolleyes](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/rolleyes.gif)
I'm getting a bit worn out here. How about some of you new guys just go buy the Stoptech setup. They will fit a 17" rim and can answer all the questions you might have.

sorry i didn't know bbk meant.
ok so i can't run the cts-v rotor and claiper.
but i can run the z06 rotor and cts-v caliper?
also anyone ever thought about the LS4 breaks?
or the new G8 GT breaks.
idk on the last two. i haven't looked at them

The CTS-V rotor will not work because it is 6 lug.
Z06 rotor works perfectly, making this a simple bolt on setup.
This setup will only work with either the right set of wheels, or a wheel spacer, or both.

What if you already have a C5 bracket installed on your spindles? Is this just a matter of abutment brackets, calipers, the bigger rotors, and wheels that clear?

i dont think these calipers use an abutment bracket, but i could be wrong. i think i remember seeing somewhere in the first few pages that these calipers bolt directly to the spindle.

You are right. I had to go re read the whole thing..in the middle somewhere in the thread this is there. I dont' know if anyone covered whether these would bolt straight to a trackbracket or a BB bracket or a UMI bracket though, for people already using 13" C5 rotors. That I could not find, even through 2 re reads.
