Med and/or High Pad should fit. I'm not a Vette expert but we've got an Application Guide in process. Should fit though.

I really like those wheels, but the 17x11s are $499 a piece. They are nice though... decisions, decisions.

Was told by Weld they would fit I gave them all measurement for stock 99 Vette brakes. I ordered 17x10 with 8" back spacing and 17x6 with 4" back spacing. So I ordered them about June 23rd.

Did the 17's fit on your C5? I believe it was the rear a-arm that would hit the rims/tires back in the day.

Yup... I was really bummed about that. I'd be stoked if they came out with just a cast aluminum wheel that cost a lot less... I don't really care about weight seeing as how my car isn't exactly a drag car. I just love that spoke design and the deep dish

Rears came in today and I bolted rim up to rear of my C5 without tires and Bingo it fits. I will try to get new tires for frt wheels and mount tires on rear and take some pics.

I thinking of selling my new Welds they are new no tires ever mounted.
17x10s and 17x6s and do fit C5 stock brakes. Will take $1900 and would rather not ship.
