With an 18" and 2" spacers, anything will fit. You should be good to go.

awesome thanks for the reply. i saw in another thread 87iroc350 that you sell brake kits. Do you have a website or anything with prices? I'm interested in picking up a c6 z06 front kit in the next couple of months and possibly rear z06 for a ford 9in like what kore3 sells

For C6 Z06 stuff, I recommend just buying direct from Kore3. Tobin is a great guy and will take care of you.

Re: will these wheels clear c6 z06 brakes?

An 8.5" wheel and a corresponding tire (245-40-18) is not going to give you a good braking and handling experience with those powerful brakes.

May be a late suggestion, but I want to recommend a 9.5" wheel up front along with a 275 width tire for maximum performance.
