Sorry

I Couldn't be for sure but There is so much clearance around my brakes I couldn't imagine C5 brakes not fitting 17" wheels.

 

I know I saw on one of the sites that had a list of some 17s that won't fit on this setup. I remember it saying that the firehawk and the Borbet Type Ts won't fit on them.

 

If you run C5 calipers (the correct calipers) on C5 rotors then the clearance is not that much at all with 17x9.5 ZR1 wheels. My C5 brakes clear my SS wheels by maybe half an inch, and miss the stick-on balance weights by less than 1/4 inch.

 

Yup, that's about right for clearance. I used to run LS1 brakes on a 69 Camaro with 16" Tourque Thrust II. They didn't hit, but there was barely a 1/16 of clearance in several places. Compared to that, there seem to be a lot of clearance.

If the C5 set-up is the same as the Baer 13" kit, just get one of bears templates that go inside the rim to show how much room would be necessary to clear the brakes. I think you can even download them from their site.

Right I have a template downloaded however, I am trying to see if anyone uses the 2 brands of wheels I am interedted in so I don't have to buy them to find out if they fit. All in all I don't think anyone here is running those wheels so, I will have to go to a dealer and measure them. Thanks for all you guys help.
