Exclamation HELP c6 Z06 brakes front and rear

I have a guy selling me his set up front and rear calipers/rotors/lines all OEM and with 6k from his 07 z06.
I'm getting a real good price.

would there be any issues running on c5 zo6 rims? what is the size of the front rotor diameter?

what does this set up normally go for?
thanks

You're going to need 18" wheels and possibly spacers.

from my understanding you need a better offset than what it looks like your other rims have. I think what has been giving people the most issues is that the spokes of the wheels hit the face of the calipers.

GL with the swap, it will look really cool on there.

i have a c6 non z06 for clarification purposes and the calipers are too big. new ive seen them go for 1700. ive seen as low as 900 for used depending on condition. i THINK the offset for a z06 is something like +79 +57 so if your anything far from there they wont fit. The c6 guys normally just go to c6 z06 replicas just to make sure clearance is good.
