V6 rear brakes, what's it take to clear 15's - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Does anyone run 15's out back with v6 breaks? Any mods or changes to the breaks to make them fit? Any pictures? Thanks

I would love too. Just not in the budget at the moment.

Camaro V6 brakes = 15" wheels won't fit.

You'd have to grind the crap out of the brakes, which I did for a while, I DO NOT recommend doing that.

I'm running BMR 15" kit with MC brakes though the Wildwoods that BMR now sells look really good.

I would love to run 15" diameter wheels on mine just so I could fit Crager SS wheels and BFG Radial TA RWL tires on it. I have always loved that look from back in the 70's. I don't really care for the short sidewalls on today's tires. I wonder what the smallest diameter size wheel you could actually run with the stock brakes?

17"s with a correct offset with Stock Brakes

That knocks the BFG radial Tas our as they do not make 17” Tires.

You wouldn't be able to do the Cragers. People doing a 15" conversion are doing so for Drag Racing and are using a Specific Wheel (Offset)

Yea I wouldn’t do the 15” conversion to run the 15” wheels anyway. It’s not worth that much money to me. It was a thought of days gone by. Deep Dish Mags. Thanks for the info and updates.
