Has anyone used 17x10" weld S71 wheels on a dse subframe with Z51 C6 Brakes?

Will 17s fit the Z51 brakes? Thought you needed 18s.

Weld RTS S71 17" have a barrel of 16.44. My current set up is American Racing and the barrel is less than that. Its touching the caliper. I need to find out more but it looks like it might work.

13.4 Is the rotor size. If you had Z06 or the Gran Sport you need 18".

Jim, what size and backspacing are your rear wheels?

Now your email makes more sense, This blue 69 is not mine however, I wish I knew more about it

Ahh I see you like this car I thought it was yours.

I have read Corvette guys running c5 z06 wheels (17x9.5 I think) up front with the z51 upgrade but then also been told 18" is minimum so I'm guessing it all depends on the wheels

I have searched high and low for more info on this car but have failed. I love everything about it.

I found this after searching for these s71 wheels in black. I'm more interested in the paint though, it says house of colors blue but I'm sure there are quite a few blue colors. I'd like to know the exact blue or a similar blue if anyone knows of one?
