Forgeline wheels and C-6 Zo6 brakes dont work

[ProdigyCustoms]

Hey Brandon, the 3 MM spacer is on the way and should solve the problem. But the ultimate problem is not with the wheel, but with the purchase order for the wheel. In other words it is 100% my fault.

Apparently, in reviewing the build sheet on the wheels, I did not specify the 06 ZO6 brakes on the PO even though you and talked about that.

All Forgelines can be built to clear those brakes, and we do it eveyday. It just requires the guy sending in the PO to specify that. that guy being myself this time.

So in the end, if something more drastic then a spacer has to be done to get the clearance we need, it lays on my shoulders and new wheels will be built.

Whatever it takes to fix it will be done. Just let me know,
You know my number

Sorry.

I asked this on pt.com. It appears that only the nuts are contacting the caliper. Would a jam nut or ARP 12point (small OD) nut clear?

Forgeline has diff types of nuts and bolts that you can order you wheels with, just se their for what they have. and the others do offer some more room on the backside

Not sure if my initial reply was clear. The picture looks like a nut/caliper interference, which could be resolved without the use of a spacer (swap the standard nuts for jam nuts).

Sounds like Frank has you covered.

Yea, the lightweight jet nuts are what I have. Don't know if they are shorter.

The 3mm spacer isn't a big deal. I'm running them on the back wheels with zero issues.

Total stand-up service Frank...takes a big man to admit he's made a mistake,however so slight.
Let's hope that thin spacer does the trick...

Beautiful set-up by the way...I'll be following the progress over at www.nastyz28.com
