Thanks, they are replicas from O.E Concepts, 18X9.5 +58mm. I think you can get them in black with the silver lip and rivets.

Re: C6 Corvette brake upgrade for the Ty

Would this kit work with 18x9.5 / 18x10.5 z06 replicas? What wheel offset/info would I need to give AFS or OEConcepts if I were to get z06 wheels to work around this kit?

Z51's are 13.4" and need a 18" wheel to clear them.

Re: C6 Corvette brake upgrade for the Ty

I have 18" wheels and I'm planning on doing the Z51 upgrade, as you did but, I'd like to use the Z51 rear setup also. I believe the Z51 rears are 13".

Can you use them with the LS1 rear brackets and will I need new calipers?

No the LS! will work with the ls1 only, In my pics from before thats the ls1 setup with 18inch wheels

so, your saying...we can only use the 12" ls1 rear disc with the ls1 rear brackets?

i'm guessing there is no adapter to allow the larger Z51 13" rear disc either.

Nope, you would have to custom make it,

Re: C6 Corvette brake upgrade for the Ty

Is there in interest in this bracket? Would prolly be pretty easy to make.

 

[ashman]

Re: C6 Corvette brake upgrade for the Ty

doubt that there would be much interest. the LS1 rears come with 12" rotors. doesn't seem like many people are changing the rears. although these adapters would probably allow you to run the big C6 Z06 rears also.
