If you are talkin about the c6 zo6 then it is my understanding that they will not.

Some 17 inch rims won't fit with c5 brakes, like TT2's for instance. ZR1 rims do fit.

C6 brakes is what i was talking about, what would be a good brake kit for the car, since i have 17's in the front?

IIRC, the C5 Z06 calipers will fit with a little filing on the fins on the back. I'm kinda interested in this, too...when its time to get new brakes (not for a while), I'm thinking about upgrading...but I've got TTMs, and they're lipped differently, from what I understand.

I'm pretty sure you need 18s for the c6 brakes

You should be ok with most 17's and C5 Z06 brakes. For the C6 Z06 brakes you'll need 18's for sure.

As others have stated, you'll need the C5 brakes with 17" wheels. C6 Z06 brakes require a minimum 18" wheel and even then there are very few wheels that will clear them.
