I think you'll find that you can squeeze a smaller rim over those Brembos. Not 17s but ... smaller than 20s. I was told that there is about an 1-1/2" between the outer edge of the caliper to the inside of the 20" rim. I would think 18s would go leaving you a 1/2" of clearance ... but I could be wrong. It will be sweet if 18s do fit because Mickey Thompson makes a 305-45-18 drag radial. LOL!

I know 18s fit on an SRT Challenger and it has the 14" Brembos.

but will it clear the calipers on the 14.4s in the rear?
i was personally inspecting the 18s on a new Z06 yesterday, and they barely had .5" left over the brakes with a 13" rotor.

Dunno

Good question. I guess we'll find out soon as they are finally coming off the assembly line

I think it may depend entirely on the rim. (not to mention, you can always shave a smidge off the caliper

)

Hey, anyone heard any news if this will happen?

Just curious.

This link isn't working right now....is there another place to see where to order them from ?

Hylton · 01-12-2012, 06:36 PM

GM did not want us to make the wheels so we didn't. You can buy the 45th anniversary wheels directly from GM but they are not exactly the same.

bandit38 · 01-12-2012, 06:39 PM

Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it.

That's a shame those wheels polished or chrome would be super nice....I like the 45th...but adding the shine makes a lot of difference.
