15" 200S wheels, C3
Does anyone know the the new two piece American Racing 200S daisy mags clear the stock C3 4 pistons and rotors?
What about wilwood D8-4s?
I keep getting a no answer from American Racing, and Im somewhat in disbelief.
They keep pushing 17" or the TTD with less desirable spacing and width for me.
Is this really a thing where the only hope for Daisy mags on a C3 is finding rare older 1 piece wheels?
Thanks.

Did you look at these, identical width, diameter, backspace, and offset as stock wheel

The question would apply to both. Do either of those new 200s Daisy mags fit the C3?
Thanks again for your help.

I don't know for sure, but I doubt it. I have American Racing Torque Thrusts that I got from Corvette Central, and the story from them was that they were getting them specially made or modified to clear the Corvette brakes. I suspect the 200Ss would have the same issue.

Talking to American racing is almost like talking to brick wall. Yea, they dont care about that market segment, nor the admiralbe history of older american racing products - how about some 20"s? Lol.

Thats exaclty the wheel I want, but I cant confirm that American racing screwed up the 200s, and nownthey dont clear vette brakes. The sales person at american racing said they dont clear. I really want to see this for fact. Theyre around $2k for the set, with no returns, so I need to know.

I did write the guy with the wheels for sale. I think I got the right guy - two 15x10s.
Maybe theres half my battle.
Thanks

It's worth a call to Discount; I wanted larger than stock tires on my lowered 2022 Maverick. They had no problem installing them and testing for rubbing before I bought them. If they are two piece wheels, they are "kinda custom", but just bolted together...

Im under the assumption theyre welded. These arent mine. I was trying to find a pic to determine the inside barrel dimension. The individual at American Racing says 13.1". Im kinda thinking that cant be right.
