Rims to fit over the C6Z06 brakes *pics*
 

Looks like they clear the brakes but are going to stick past the fenders... ARGH!

Do they stop?

Why is the caliper mounted on top like that?

how far do they stick out? maybe a set of GS fender flares would take care of it.

by how much? a little poke won't hurt. some smaller tires would make it look less redneck, and if you are low, it would actually look damn good.

im really starting to like your vette :)

HAHA! Good EYE! HAHA! They arent mounted to the bracket yet! They were just balancing on the top of the caliper :D I just wanted to make sure they fit ;) HAHA! :rofl:

Rears arent the issue... Its the front... Its actually kind of sexy when the rear stick out a little... But I think the fronts going to sit out about a 1/2 inch of so... I have a pic of it somewhere!

No man.... I little poke could potentialy hurt really bad! HAHA My front fenders are also my hood! costs close to 2 Gs to replace... And Im not trying to spend 2 gs on a perfectly good hood that I trashed because the wheels didnt fit. :/ :shock:

Didnt like my car before!?!?!?!? HAHA :D:moon:

You can see in this pic how much it sticks out... Like qwik said I think Im going to have to strech a tire real good...

Couple updates!

1st... Mounted and balanced the rims are tires! (looks sick!) BUUUUUT! The weights on the inside of the rim are JUST barely skimming the top of the front calipers.... So Im going to ask my boss to re-balance the front tires and see if he can distribute the weights a little differently...

2nd... My SS brake lines are too short for these calipers... Have to give my brake guy jeff a ring and see if we have an alternative...

Final resting place for the calipers :D

thats coming out great! they make low profile sticky wheel weights or you can do a static balance where the weights only go on the inside edge, furthest from the face.

Yeah Im going to have to talk to my boss man and see what he can do for me!

It looks amazing. I would love to see it when it's
done. Keep us updated!

Thanks dood!

Yeah soon enough... Just waiting on the little stuff and then re-assembly can begin!

Looking like Im going to need new brake lines too... :/

Look at the pic, theres no lip on the front of the wheel to clip weights to, so hes gonna have to go with stickies or inside mounted

static balance is when you only have the weights clipped onto the lip on the INSIDE lip of the wheel. facepalm

yes or you could static balance with stick on weights as well.

Werd! Anyway... New valve covers on the way :D

Looks good so far!!

Thanks dood! Now Im just waiting on brake lines and a buddy to come over and give me a hand with the trans install :D

Oh yeah and bleed the brakes :D

Valve covers in! WOOO :D
