Installing v6 brakes on a 5th gen SS
Hi I am planning on doing a v6 brake swap on my SS to fit a smaller wheel so far I have the calipers rotors and brake lines from a v6 not sure if I need and anything else then I am looking to install a 16 or 17 inch wheel 10 inches wide but I’m not sure what offset and backspacing I would need to run.
Thanks |

not sure what the upside of this would be but if you were closer id swap parts with you.

Not 100% on all the parts but you will also need the dust shields if you want to do the v6 swap. You can run 16’s with the v6, you need smaller for 15’s and some suspension parts. There are a few companies that sell complete 15” conversion kits.

Upside is a smaller wheel, that allows for more side wall on a larger drag tire.

Also the SS dust shield won’t work? Can I trim it?

Best guess would be a +24et. Not too many choices on 16” wheels though.
