I have 17 x8.5 C5 replica wheels, C5 12.75 brakes, 1.7 spacers on the front of an 88 Camaro and they fit perfectly. I don't know if the C6 brakes differ from the C5's. I will get some pics later. Dean.

c5 zo6 rotor is 12.75 rotor and it fits my 17x9.5 zr1 with room. I'm thinking about trying 13.5's next time on my 17s.

Re: 17'x9.5 C5 wheel fit with C6 12.75 rotor ?

The base C6 corvette uses the same front brake package as all the C5's. Rotors are the same, calipers are the same, abutments are the same, etc. If you are talking about the C6 Z06 (based on the rotor size you gave, you aren't), well that's another story. With the C6 Z06 brakes, you need at least an 18" wheel on the front.

That's what I'll have on the car in a couple weeks. The 17" wheels will clear it no problem.
