Default Front Runners

I am trying to find a set of skinnies that will fit my 01 Z28 along with rims.
Is anyone running skinnies on the front of there 98-02 F-Body and if so what size rim and skinnies so I can get an idea of what will fit. Everyone I talk to says I can not do it with the stock brakes. Could someone shed some light on this for me.

Thanks

Well there's some new wheels out there that I guess will fit. I had to grind my calipers and use a spacer in the front to use the Weld Draglites.

Now here's a model that I was told would fit without a spacer and very minimal brinding of the caliper.

Here's the thread where I saw the discussion.

Here's their application guide. If you look into it they definitely will fit on your car.
