ls1 brake swap, more rim BS needed?
Swapping to ls1 front brakes, I see you lose the thickness of the rotor onto the hubs. Anyone tucking a 17x7 or 17x8 with more backspacing due to the new brake setups? Not sure if my skinnies will clear anymore due to the rotor thickness and a small spacer being needed to clear a 15" rim. Might swap to 17" skinnies or narrower fronts instead.
