Dammit so I am trying to fix my brakes, and seriously considering the C7 z51 brake upgrade. Which according to peeps on LS1Tech seems to fit 17 inch wheels. EXCEPT I look at my CCW wheels and see there is a 1/2 inch "inset" bump on the inside of the barrel. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant2.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) I went with 17s when I got them b/c they generally fit and I thought I'd be good with them. I didn't buy the new brakes yet but man I am upset. I don't want to have to sell these (along with a set of extra tires) just to buy 18s and spend even more money.
