Someone over at Pro-Touring.com loans it out for a very small fee.

Nick,

Do you know if the 18" wheels will clear c6 z06 brakes? Looks like you have Wilwood brakes up front.

I do not know the answer to this, but if Tobin still has the test fit templates on his page, I will gladly check the rears now (and the fronts when I receive them).

When I had the 17's, I test fit for the C5 brakes and the fronts were going to need a spacer. Hell, I even had hubcentric spacers machined and anodized. The rears cleared without issue.

Spacers (which I still have and are basically paperweights):

Thanks Nick. Tobin still has the template on his site. I'm for interested in knowing the clearance for the front (C5 and C6 z06 brake packages).

How thick are the spacers?

I am having a brain fart at the moment and do not remember how thick they are. I will measure them when I get home. All of my personal files are home as well, so I do not have access to the drawing at this second.

Stay tuned! I will add that info tonight.

The spacers were machined to 0.25" thick. They measure 0.2535" with the anodizing.
