Default What size Bembos are Z06 running?

380 or 355 in front.
Can you use stock wheels C6 Z06 18" & 19" for track days with 380s?
Anybody have experience with?
Thanks for help.

I am pretty sure the 355's are the largest you can run with the stock rims. I have them on my car and there is absolutely no room between caliper and the rim. You have to go to aftermarket rims to clear the 380's.

Maybe Jason at Katech or Mike Bowman can chime in.

There are only a handful of wheels that will clear the 380mm kits in a 18" diameter wheel. ForgeLine's EV1 and CCW's Corsair series

As far as stock wheels go, and Brembo's you are going to be limited to the 355mm kit. I believe the 365 will clear but you need a small spacer for caliper clearance.

All of the rear kits use a 345mm rotor and have no issues with 18" or 19" wheels.

Default Thanks for feed back

That's what I thought.
I have HRE monoblocks 19,20
will work but I don't want to spend a bunch of money on track wheels...

Do you think I need the 380 for about 10 track days a year?
Thanks,
Scott

If you go 380 here is a used stoptech set. Make him an offer if you are interested....he wants to get rid of them

I agree. That kit is nicely priced. Replace the drilled rings with slotted when the drilled rings are toast. If I didn't already have Stoptechs on all four corners I'd have scooped those up.

Those were the only two wheels I considered as I wanted the ability to clear BBKs. I went with the CCW C10s.

No, Personally I would save a some weight and money and go with the smaller 14" rotors.

Default Anthony...

That's what I was thinking. Weight... & more wheels..
Do you know the diferrence beteween Z06 front and Brembo 355 fronts?
I am going with slotted rotors.
Thanks, again.
