Does anybody know what 18" wheel will fit around the Brembo's, so as to fit 18" drag radials on. 03 Vette does not work.

From my understanding you'll need 20" to clear the brakes. I did notice that Nitto is now making a 20" Street Slick. About $200 a piece from Jegs if I remember correctly.

The rear Brembo's require a minimum of a 16" circumference. That would be with zero clearance. Basically, you need a rim that has no less that a 16.5" inner circumference...

I used a 2006 Z06 18" Front wheel.

It clears without spacers

I thought the bolt patterns were different with corvettes and the new camaro.
