Hello

I made it over 3,000 without noticing.




Can anyone find a post where someone "official" said that 18 inch wheels will not fit over the Brembos? (AKA: fbodfather, CamaroScotty etc.)

I've been looking all day.

i'm going to bed now, but from personal examination, on a 08 Z06, an 18" wheel barely clears the front calipers (the rotors are 13" or 13.4") by a fraction of an inch, so to add rotors at least an inch bigger is a no-go

correction... after 20 minutes of digging, i finally found out the 08 Z06 uses 14" rotors in the front, 13.4" in the rear. that said... if our calipers are a little smaller, there's a remote possibility they'd fit under 18"s (providing you have enough offset to clear the caliper laterally). i'd say some 18x9.5s should do the trick... possibly... if you pray, cross your fingers, and stand on your head with one hand in the air...

so to sorta answer your question, the stock camaro 18"s won't fit, but some wider ones possibly could

That's just craziness. If you don't mind, PM me the links to those. Hope you are felling better. If so, it's time to change the Milk carton.
