13" Wilwood with C6 Z06 18"x9,5" ???
Wondering if 18"x9,5" Vette C6 Z06 wheels (et 50)(with 2" adapters of course) will clear Wilwood 13" frontbrakes (sold on hawks, Thunderracing etc.)

You'll like those 13" wilwoods! Make sure you fit an adjustable proportioning valve so that you can make the best use of both the front and rear brakes. tech pages on this site have description of how to do it.
It is also worth putting some underbody protection on the adaptors that connect to the chassis end of the braided pipes as they corrode very very quickly. Don't know why they didn't use stainless parts in that kit.

Its the adaptor they use to go between the hardline and the flexible pipe out to the caliper. It mounts in a bracket on the inner lip of the wheelwell.
