Do you have a link to a thread on how you got the rear calipers to work?

They're on facebook. I had been looking at Ambit wheels, the rep told me that with the offset I needed the spokes wouldn't clear the brakes. He did however mention that he had some wheels that they were introducing at that time so I got them at a reduced price.

Thanks, can't wait to test them out instead of looking at them the whole time.

Got the tires on them, I haven't rolled the car out just yet as things outside of my control have dictated my time to be spent otherwise...

Looks great! Those wheels are mighty tempting, price ain't too bad either. What offset are they?

Could I get that link to AI Engineering brackets too?

First time out on the ground w/ the new wheels. Needs an alignment bad! The front Toe-in is so much that it made it hard to push the car out of the garage, lol!

Those brakes almost look too big (even though there is no such thing).

But yes, that does look GREAT, despite the 'rubber band' effect sidewalls.

Haha yeah, these won't be the track wheel/tire setup. I know the wheel/tire combo isn't the norm for f-bodies. I have been searching hard for something that's not a Vette wheel (or heavy *** reproduction wheel) and didn't look like a special from walmart. I had looked at one setup but the rep said the available offsets wouldn't even clear the brembos.

The wheels were priced low as an introductory thing, were stupid light and were ready to go. I had somebody on FRRAX say they had some C5 Mags in 18x9.5 ready to go but never answered any more of my PM's.
