These 16" and LS1 brake upgrade...

I just picked up some rims from a swap meet, I guess they are 4th gen factory rims. These will clear the LS1 calipers?



Also, if I just do the front brakes, will I be okay with the stock master cylinder/boost...or do I also need to upgrade?

Yes they will work, with an LS1 setup I would run a 1.75" spacer on the front and keep your stock master.

Thank you for the reply Ed. I got a question...do you mean run a wheel spacer in the front?

Yes, the 4th gen wheels have added offset the 3rd gens don't have, you'll still need that spacer to get it right.
