I'll assume no chance a 325 clears stock fenders? I may look into some L5s. Thanks Lsoholic....

Those of u with wide fenders, how wide a rim car you get away with in the 18" size?
I'm thinking about getting another set of 18's with mickeys on them for longer drives, with the 15's and Hoosiers the life span is terrible plus the rear end dancing all the time is anoying z

So if I got this right, if you do the LG spindles you can not run an 18-19 rear rim on the street without rear drag brakes? Does this apply to all rims (weld 18" or 19" ccw 505A)?
Sounds like the lg spindles will kinda turn the car into a one track pony. No road track and limited street options.

Has anybody tried a 15x11" wheel with 8.5" back spacing?
i want to keep my stock c5 fenders, do a minitub, run lg spindles, and do coil overs with strange rear brakes. not sure if the 8.5" backspace will make the inside edge rub on the control arms through its travel. Anybody try this?

So, lots of good info in this thread. From what I gather I will need medium pads in the front to clear the stock brakes. My question is, do I need medium pad height in the rear as well or can I get away with the low pad height. These are my street wheels so I plan on aggreggive offsets and I want to get the max amount of lip possible. Thanks in advance.

I wanted to put these on my c5z but but I also have c6z brakes... I was wanting to do maybe an 18" front and 17" rear so I called weld and the person I spoke to said they don't have anything that will clear the c6z brakes and stay inside the stock fendersnof a c5... I asked if they could make them and they said no, I was under the assumption they made custom wheels
... it seemed like the person on the line with me was just quoting me c6z sizes and didn't want to go through the trouble of figuring it out... has anyone else done a similar setup on stock fenders?

I have 19" ccw's and they clear my c6z brakes just fine and there are plenty of guys with c6z's with 18f/17r weld's so I don't see how it would be so hard for them to make a set that fits
