If they're the ones with the 12.75" rotors, they'll fit. I have the same under replica 17" C5-Z06 Motorsports.

Re: c5 brakes fit?

I modified my own spindles, had a machine shop turn down a pair of rotors to make hubs, and bought the caliper bracket through these guys...

Ed Miller (ebmiller88) on this site also has brackets and complete kits for upgrades through this link...

Re: c5 brakes fit?

No u don't change the spindles but u do modify them and you have to make hubs out of your old rotors correct me if I'm wrong anyone but for the most part this has to be done oh and have to have a braked made to fit caliper on
