What drag wheels work with factory Brembos on the ZL1? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I know a guy that bought some wheels for when he drags and the inside of the wheel was so close to his stock Brembos that he had to remove the tape weights attached to the wheel. Crazy!

What are you guys running for wheel tire combos that still works with the factory Brembos on the ZL1?

I don't want to remove the calipers and go smaller because the car is mostly for the street and I enjoy the Brembos.

Thanks,
Mark

I’ve heard vms wheels clear the brakes, someone posted a video of them on their zl1 on here a while back. I know some people have to use a super small spacer (like 3mm) on some applications but that’s pretty negligible imo. If you have a bigger budget you could definitely get some high end wheels on there that would fit like welds

I run 18” dark stars. I know not a true drag setup, but looks good
