Brakes That Fit 16" GTA Wheels
I'm likely going with a kit from one of the popular places, but has anyone done a 12" ls1 rotor/Z06 Caliper combo with the 16" GTA crosslace wheels? Probably needs a spacer, but how big?

Re: Brakes That Fit 16" GTA Wheels
i am running LS1 brakes all around, and only needed a thin spacer (i made it out of 3/16" steel) on the fronts to run the GTA's... i don't know about using Vette calipers, but i do know that the Camaro LS1 calipers haul the car down from speed pretty effectively..

Re: Brakes That Fit 16" GTA Wheels
If you mean C6 Z06 calipers, then no, they won't work with 12" rotors. A 12" rotor barely reaches halfway up the pistons. Those calipers are designed for 14" front rotors. I believe Ed Miller offers a bracket that's supposed to allow those calipers to work with 13.4" Z51 front rotors, but even that appears suspect that the top of the pad might fit higher than the top of the rotor. There might be some 12" 6thgen Camaro options. Not sure if they'd fit 16" wheels, but Scott at Big Brake Upgrade would probably know.

12" 6thgen Camaro options have electric ebrakes on rear calipers?
Are they compatibles with 82-88 3gen rear disc brakes?Someone knows?
Thanks,
