Default C5 brake upgrade

Will c5 brakes fit behind my 17 inch torque thrust 2s? I would like to upgrade brakes but not if it means replacing my wheels.

They will not clear the Torque Thrusts II wheels

Hope that helps!

Your best bet Dave would be go with an LS1 front brake upgrade. You can get them for cheap and they are VERY good brakes.

This is the route I went with my Camaro. I still had some rubbing though. No big deal.

it depends what ur offset is to. ive heard spacers and getting longer wheel studs work.

Thanks for the responses guys, I guess I'll just go a different direction.

Unfortuantely the spokes of the TT2's curve inwards so much that they conflict with the caliper. . . . I have seem someone with TT2's and the C5 Vette upgrade, I know for certain that they had a spacer in there, and not sure if they machined the back sides of the spokes to clear.
