13.4/Z51 with 17s.

I literally just picked up some C5/C6 calipers with the z51 abutment brackets which means it uses 13.4 rotors. Dows anyone have any pictures showing where they hit on a 17inch Y2K's. Heres the calipers. How much would need to be grounded down if any at all. I can also use my 2 Inch adapters still correct?

I'be been looking at that kit on big brake upgrade and I think they said you need an 18" wheel for those, have to double check

I saw that too, but I was reading where someone fit them under wagon wheels but it was close...

CTW Motorsports wheels fit the 13.4" kit with plenty of clearance.

Sweet. I'm gonna cram the Z51 kit under the front wheels. Just gonna have to do some trimming of the calipers to be safe

Not all 17's have the same clearance. Measure first.

Re: 13.4/Z51 with 17s.

From what I have measured and talking about with the big brake man is that it will fit but for clearance and safety he said I should grind down the tops a little just incase of anything now this doesn't mean they will clear all 17 inch wheels. Some are closer than others, the c5 zr1s will clear the spokes with a 1/4-5/16 spacer
