I had plans to have my original '94 Firehawk wheels refinished but I just found out they will not clear the Z06 brakes that I am putting on soon so that option is out.
I've been thinking about 17x11 in the rear so I can throw some 315s under the car and was looking at Torque Thrust II wheels but they don't list an application for C5s so I don't know if they will clear the brakes. I definitely don't want ZR1 wheels... any idea what size and backspacing it'll take to clear the brakes? |

C5/Z06 brakes will fit under the majority of f-body 17" wheels, but there are a few styles that they won't clear. I know for certain that they will clear ZR1/GS/SS style 17s, and will also fit under the later style Firehawk wheels. There is a f-body C5 brake clearance diagram floating around the Internet somewhere. If you can find it, it should allow you to verify with a wheel manufacturer what will or will not fit.
