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.)

 

Yes, although I'd only run a 1.75" spacer.

Thanks a million, the car´s gonna look

1,75" instead of 2"... if the wheel had et56 would you still recomend a 1,75" adapter or? When should I use an 2"

 

With the 56 I'd go with 2".

thanks again for a quick answer!

These forums are super

 

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.

You're talking about the caliper line fittings, right? Just curious. I do use stainless in mine just for that reason.

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.

I´m sure to enjoy the brakes!

And thanks for the tip. It´s gonna be protected from earth, wind and fire by some protect anticorrotion-paint/underbody.
